A man from Swansea has been jailed for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, as well as importing a weapon.
33-year-old Andrew Hanley, from Townhill, was the intended recipient of a parcel which contained a police-style extendable baton that was intercepted by Border Force in November 2024.
When officers attended to search Hanley’s address, they located four large sandwich bags containing a substantial amount of white powder. Hanley then directed officers to several other substances which were stored around the address.
He has been sentenced to 42 months in prison.
Sergeant Geraint Thomas said:
“For Andrew Hanley to have had such high quantities of drugs within his home, there can be no doubt that his intention was to supply these drugs to others in the community.
“Like every other drug dealer before him, Andrew Hanley was motivated purely by financial gain, and did not care for the negative impact these drugs would have on those who purchased them.
“He is rightly starting a term in prison for his actions.”
