A drug dealer from Barry has been jailed after he was caught running two active 'drug lines'.

Ryan Fennell (29) admitted being involved in the supply of cocaine and crack cocaine.

Police found Fennell was in control of two active drug lines in the Barry area between February and June 2025.

Cardiff Crown Court heard he was involved in various deals, ranging from £20 to £160, and regularly sent out messages from his phone advertising the availability of drugs.

Fennell was sentenced to five years and seven months.

A South Wales Police spokesperson said the force has "a zero-tolerance approach to drug dealing".

They added: "We will not tolerate drugs in our communities, and we are constantly targeting those are thought to be involved in the supply of controlled drugs."

"We can, and regularly do, act upon the information provided to us by the public, so please keep it coming and continue to work with us."
