PORTHCAWL: ‘Agitated’ drug dealer caught with knife and cocaine jailed

Connor Wing, 21, was snared by officers during a routine patrol in the town when they pulled over his silver Vauxhall Corsa.

Police say Wing appeared “agitated” as officers approached the car, with the strong smell of cannabis coming from inside the vehicle.

A search of the Corsa uncovered a significant stash of drugs, including multiple bags of cannabis and a black bag filled with a white substance.

Officers also found a clear bag containing a white glue-like substance, later identified as ketamine.

Inside the car, police discovered weighing scales, a large number of empty snap bags and a staggering £2,000 in cash.

The situation took a more sinister turn when officers searched Wing and found a large kitchen knife tucked into his jacket pocket.

Wing appeared at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday, March 2, where he pleaded guilty to a string of serious charges.

He admitted possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession with intent to supply ketamine, and possession with intent to supply cannabis.

The 21-year-old also pleaded guilty to being in possession of a knife in a public place.

Sergeant Andrew Carver of South Wales Police said the case showed the force’s commitment to tackling drug crime in the area.

“This case highlights our commitment to tackling drug-related crime and ensuring that those who seek to profit from illegal activities face the consequences of their actions,” he said.

“We will continue to work tirelessly to make our communities safer.”

The conviction follows a series of recent crime reports across Porthcawl as officers continue to target local dealing operations.
