Cocaine is wrecking lives in one part of the UK, a new investigation has found. Police in Wales accept that there is "significantly widespread" easy access to the Class A drug, particularly in cities and larger towns.
"It’s so prevalent now and it’s so easy to get hold of. People will be having a drink and will have a number on their phone and say: ‘I’ll just get a cheeky gram as well – why not?'" one expert says.
However, despite becoming 'normalised' in the country, it has brought with it a litany of horrors. Wales Online report how children are being sent, normally by train, from across Britain to sell the drug as part of a trade which relies on violence and exploitation. Whilst people from all walks of life are facing breakdowns, mental health crises, and even death.
