Swansea man jailed after drug supply messages were discovered

A man from Swansea has been jailed for his involvement in the supply of Class A drugs.

19-year-old Liam Devois, from Manselton, was identified during an unrelated investigation when his drugs-related messages were found on a mobile phone.

In March, officers attended his home address, during which quantities of ketamine and cannabis were found alongside numerous items of drug paraphernalia.

Devois’ phone contained evidence of him advertising drugs including cocaine for sale.

He has been sentenced to four years in a young offenders’ institution.

Detective Sergeant Luke Tucker said:

“Liam Devois’ involvement in the illegal drug trade has now cost him years of freedom.

“He has evidently not learned his lesson from his previous sentence for a similar offence.

“Dealing drugs does not pay. The only reward drug dealers will get is a good spell in prison.”
