A teenage drug dealer was found in possession of heroin and crack cocaine at a house in Cardiff which had been "cuckooed" from a mother and 11-year-old child. He attempted to escape when police raided the property but he was tasered and detained by officers.
Gabriel Hardwicke, then 18, fled after police raided the house in Llanedeyrn on December 20, 2020. When they arrived at the property, they saw someone by the front door who ran back inside, and heard the sound of crashing and running.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday heard officers ran through the house and tried to get trough the back door, which had been blocked up. They went back through the front door and ran to the back where they saw Hardwicke and another climbing over a garden fence.
