A Cardiff man who was caught with drugs and cash when police raised his flat has been jailed.
Caerion Chapman was showering when officers turned up at his apartment in Blaenclydach Street, Grangetown, on July 8 (2024).
They carried out a search warrant under the misuse of drugs act and found 13.8 grammes of cocaine in street deal bags and £2480 in cash, stashed in a kitchen cupboard.
Officers also seized and analysed mobile phones which put Chapman at the head of a drugs line which distributed cocaine to users.
On Tuesday (August 6) – just weeks after his arrest – he was jailed for three years and four months at Cardiff Crown Court.
Detective Constable Jac Homan, said: “We caught Chapman red-handed when we turned up to his flat last month and with the community’s help we have put him out of business. He’ll now have time to reflect on his business choices in prison which is where anybody who pedals drugs and inflicts misery on the community belongs”.
