A Pembrokeshire drug ring was exposed after two police officers on patrol noticed a strong smell of cannabis coming from a home. The resulting bust in Crymych led to the discovery of a cocaine and cannabis network — and last week five men with links to the operation were sentenced.
When the two officers knocked at the property on April 16, 2020, a woman opened the door and the police went upstairs where they found John Miles in a bedroom, along with 296g of cannabis with an estimated value of £3,000. Police later learned through text messages that Miles, 50, was involved in the supply of Class A substance cocaine as well as the Class B drug.
The messages led officers to Daniel Ferman, 32, from Newport in Pembrokeshire. They raided his home and seized cannabis worth around £170, as well as £770 in cash. In a later search of Ferman's home they discovered around £3,500 in cash, including £500 in coins. You can sign up to the WalesOnline crime and punishment newsletter here.
