POLICE swooped on a member of an organised crime group as he was delivering drugs from Cardiff to Swansea, a court has heard.

Officers found 5kg of cannabis in the back of Nam Ngoc's car, and found he was carrying a false international driver's licence.

Swansea Crown Court heard 21-year-old Ngoc entered the UK illegally three years ago and worked as a painter and decorator. A judge told the defendant the sooner he is sent back to his home country the better.

Alycia Carpanini, prosecuting, told the court that on December 20 last year police received reports from the Grangetown area of Cardiff of a group of men transferring large bags from a van to the boot of a car. Some of the men were said to be carrying firearms.
