IN JUNE officers arrested Harry Cook after finding a large amount of cocaine, cash, cannabis and multiple phones in his property and car.
He later pled guilty to possession with intent to supply a class A drug – cocaine, possession of a class B drug – cannabis, driving while disqualified, possessing criminal property and driving without insurance.
On Friday 2 August, he received a sentence of five years and seven months at Cardiff Crown Court.
The officer in the case, Police Staff Investigator Rachel Hines, said: “Even before considering the impact of Cook’s involvement in the supply of cannabis and cocaine on the most vulnerable people in our society, he showed zero regard for the public by continuing to drive while disqualified and without insurance.
“He clearly thought he was untouchable; and by supplying these drugs he is helping to perpetuate vicious cycles of misery on our communities as we know that the supply of drugs often is a direct cause to other types of offending.
“Illegal drugs have no place in our society, and we will continue to target those involved in these activities as shown by our work to bring Cook before the courts to face justice.”
