28-year-old Luke Williams, from Strand in the city centre, and 20-year-old Leon Beynon, from Cockett, have been sentenced to 48 months and 32 months respectively.
Williams was arrested on December 23 having earlier been observed topping up a mobile phone from which messages were sent to drug users. Following this, a warrant was conducted at Beynon’s home address.
The mobile phone topped up by Williams was found in Beynon’s address. It contained communications between Beynon and Williams regarding the sourcing and distribution of heroin and crack cocaine.
Quantities of cannabis and cash were also seized from both men’s addresses.
Detective Sergeant Luke Tucker from South Wales Police said:“This is just the latest of example of the work that we do to disrupt the activity of those in the illegal drug trade.
“Class A drugs, such as the heroin and crack cocaine that Luke Williams and Leon Beynon were working to distribute into the local community, destroy lives. They destroy not only the lives of those who purchase them, but those of their family and friends too.
“South Wales Police will always work to bring those involved in this illegal activity to justice.”
