A man who was caught dealing heroin in broad daylight in Tredegar town centre has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years’ imprisonment. 👮‍♂️

Christopher Williams, 45, was arrested by neighbourhood officers after they spotted him acting suspiciously on a bench near Commercial Street at around 3.35pm on Wednesday 28 May.

Officers detained Williams and recovered 38g of heroin, including wraps of the class A drug from a plastic bag nearby.
