    Kane Evans, 29, was arrested by police in Bristol airport on January 29, 2026, where he had returned from a holiday in Cyprus.

    At the time he was under investigation by officers from the Cardiff and Vale organised Crime team.
    Back in November, 2025, he was inside a flat in Mill Road when officers from the local Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

    As officers forced entry, a rucksack containing crack cocaine had been thrown out of a bedroom window where they found Evans and arrested him.

    Officers seized two phones from the address, and one them was found to be a drugs line linked to a separate investigation.

    Officers waited for Kane on the runway as he stepped off the plane. He was arrested and taken into custody where he was charged with being concerned In the supply of crack cocaine.

    He pleaded guilty to and on Wednesday, May 13, was jailed at Cardiff Crown Court for 40 months.

    Detective Constable Jon Grenville-Roberts, said: “Our specially trained officers were able to link separate investigations to prove that Evans had been dealing drugs. Together with the drugs found during the warrant, it enabled us to put together a strong file of evidence which resulted in a guilty plea. He may have thought he had got away with it but his holiday blues quickly set-in as officers were waiting for him at the airport.”
