A FORMER Wales boxer was caught plotting to import cannabis from Thailand to North Wales. UK Border Force officials intercepted two packages with two Welsh addresses on them.

Police swooped on Harvey Williams at a Llandudno guest house and found drugs along with Williams' partner “cooking” cocaine on a stove to turn it into crack cocaine. Williams and his partner Sophie Williams-Roberts pleaded guilty to drugs offences.

Yesterday a judge at Caernarfon Crown Court gave them suspended sentences. An accomplice, Thomas Braganca, received a 12-month community order.

Prosecutor Richard Edwards said last year Harvey Williams, 21, and Braganca, 30, had conspired to import cannabis from Thailand. On June 7 last year Harvey Williams had been staying in the Bella Vista Guest House in Llandudno. Police arrived and found both Williams and partner Sophie Williams-Roberts, 30, in a room.
