Mount Pleasant man jailed for drug supply

A man from Swansea has been jailed after being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

30-year-old Jake Tipping, from Mount Pleasant, was identified following a stop-search in the Hafod area. Two wraps of substances later found to be cocaine were found in a toilet Tipping had just exited. On his arrest, a mobile phone and £525 in cash were found on his person.

He later pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin, possession of a Class A drug and possession of criminal property.

He has been sentenced to three years in prison.

PC Corey Morris said:

“Jake Tipping had hopes of getting rich through selling Class A drugs to others, without a care for the damage that those drugs would do to the buyers and those around them.

“The illegal drugs industry is an inherently selfish and dangerous trade, where suppliers are only concerned about their own finances.

“The punishment for Jake Tipping is that he has been duly sent to prison.”
