Three men from Swansea have been jailed for their parts in an organised drug gang following police raids that uncovered large quantities of cash and drugs. 💰

Rhys Higgins, 34, from Portmead, Liam McCabe, 28, from Blaenymaes, and Dennis McCabe, 50, from Cockett were subject of warrants at their home addresses on October 17 last year.

Significant sums of cash were found at each of the addresses, totalling over £137,000. Two of the addresses contained five mobile phones each, while the third contained 93 wraps of crack cocaine and electronic scales.

Evidence was also uncovered tying the three men to the purchase of multi-kilo quantities of cocaine.

They have been sentenced to 10 years (Rhys Higgins), seven years and six months (Liam McCabe) and three years (Dennis McCabe) in prison respectively. 🔒

Detective Sergeant Luke Tucker said: “Rhys Higgins, Liam McCabe and Dennis McCabe are just the latest examples of drug supply criminals being brought to justice in our force area.

“All had significant quantities of cash in their home addresses, which highlights that their illegal activities were purely for financial gain, and they did not care at all for the welfare of those who purchased the drugs that they supplied.

“Each is now, rightly, beginning a lengthy spell in prison. Drug crime does not pay – as with so many others, our officers will identify you, and you will be brought to justice.”
