A man from Swansea has been jailed after pleading guilty to being involved in the supply of Class A drugs.
33-year-old Ricky O’Connor, from Mayhill, was subject of a warrant at his home address on August 13. Following officers’ entry into the property, O’Connor made admissions to having possession of a quantity of cocaine at the address, as well as two mobile phones used in order to deal the illegal substance.
Over £2,250 in cash was also seized.
O’Connor pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession of an offensive weapon (an extendable baton) in a private place, possessing criminal property and being concerned in the supply of cocaine the day following the warrant.
He has been sentenced to 30 months in prison.
Sergeant Luke Tucker said:
“Ricky O’Connor is yet another man who saw Class A drugs as a “get-rich-quick” scheme, only to find out that they were in fact even more effective as a “go-to-jail-quick” scheme.
“Drugs blight our communities and Ricky was playing his part in bringing that misery to the streets of Swansea.
“He is deservedly embarking on a spell in prison.”
