A Neath man has been jailed for three years after cocaine, cash, snap bags and weighing scales were found at his home during a South Wales Police search in March.

Chad White, 34, of Neath, was arrested and his home searched following police investigations into drug supply across the Neath Port Talbot and Swansea areas.

The white powder found at the address was later confirmed to be cocaine.

White pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply a Class A controlled drug, being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, and acquiring and using criminal property.

He was sentenced to three years in prison.

Detective Inspector Richard George said White was among a number of drug dealers uncovered as part of ongoing investigations into drug supply across the region.

“Like so many others before him, his involvement in this illegal trade has resulted in him getting a lengthy prison sentence,” he said. “Class A drugs blight the people who use them as well as their friends, families and wider communities.”

Officers confirmed the force would continue to pursue anyone involved in drug supply in the area.

“We will always pursue anyone involved in this illegal activity and bring them to justice,” DI George said.
