DRUG dealer Dylan Levi Seaton has been jailed for more than three years after police recovered a huge amount of cocaine worth more than £15,000.

A CYNON Valley drug dealer has been jailed for more than three years after police recovered a huge amount of cocaine worth more than £15,000.

Dylan Levi Seaton, 23, from Llwydcoed, was sentenced for possession of cocaine with intent to supply the drug around the valley.

It came after a police stop check on his vehicle in Aberdare last November linked Seaton to 264 grams of cocaine and just under a kilo of benzocaine, a cutting agent commonly used for the class A drug.

According to South Wales Police, the amount of cocaine recovered was valued at between £15,080 and £18,850.

Police also said the quantity of benzocaine recovered could have a potential value of £20,000 when used as a cutting agent.

He was jailed for three years and four months.

Sergeant Tim Jones said: “Seaton has been given a lengthy custodial sentence which I hope will act as a deterrent to those considerin­g selling class A drugs in the Cynon Valley.

“We will continue to work with communitie­s and target any drug dealers operating within them.

“Anyone with informatio­n on drug dealing can call Crimestopp­ers 24/7 anonymousl­y on 0800 555 111.”
