Drug dealer busted after sending picture of new 'Turkey teeth' to friend

A drug dealer who was caught after sending a photo of his "Turkey teeth" to a friend has been jailed for four years.

Coran Davies, 23, sent the picture to his friend, whose phone had been confiscated due to a separate police investigation, from a dentist's chair in Turkey after getting new teeth, alongside messages about supplying cocaine and cannabis.

He was identified using facial recognition and arrested in March from his car, alongside passenger Dale Howell, 25, both from Porth, Rhondda Cynon Taf.

Officers discovered drugs and thousands of pounds in cash in their possession.

Both pleaded guilty to multiple offences and were sentenced on Thursday at Merthyr Crown Court.

When Davies sent the picture to his friend, he did not know that their phone was under police analysis.

Then on 7 March, officers stopped Davies driving in Tonypandy and arrested him and passenger Howell.

At Merthyr Magistrates Court on 9 March, Davies pleaded guilty to multiple offences, including cannabis supply, driving without insurance or a licence, possessing criminal property, and intent to supply cocaine.

Howell pleaded guilty to two offences, including possessing criminal property and intent to supply cocaine.

Davies was jailed for 48 months and Howell was jailed for 36 months.
