Three Midland men have been jailed for a total of more than eight years after police spotted a local 'gopher' and busted a County Lines drugs ring in Wales.
Two men from Dudley and a third from Walsall travelled to Llanelli to take part in an operation to supply cocaine, heroin, synthetic cannabinoids ('spice') and cannabis.
But they were caught after police spotted local man Damien Hearne, who was described in court as 'a gopher'.
Swansea Crown Court heard it was a ' County Lines operation ', where a telephone line referred to as Mitch was used to facilitate the sale of the drugs, WalesOnline reported.
Ravi Talware was jailed for four and a half years, while Walker and Hearne were both jailed for three years. Higgins was jailed for 14 months.
