Corey Fenton who was caught with drugs, £1k cash and a machete has been jailed.

The 21-year-old was arrested by plain-clothed officers in Heol Trelai, Ely, Cardiff, on the evening of Wednesday, September 13.

Officers from the Organised Crime Team observed Fenton take part in several exchanges while riding an e-bike around the area.

He was detained and found to have numerous wraps of crack cocaine and heroin, a knife and more than £1,000 cash.

 

Fenton, from Caerau, was arrested and during interview answered ‘no comment’ to all questions.
