While Matthew Davies - who is known locally as "Hillbilly" - made good his escape officers searched the open lockup he'd left behind and discovered cocaine and cannabis along with £46,000 in cash.

Swansea Crown Court heard that on September 13 PCSOs in an unmarked patrol car in Llanelli noticed a grey Ford Transit van being driven by a suspected disqualified driver. The officers began searching the area and found the van parked up outside a storage container in the Dafen area.

Suspecting the van's visit to the unit may not have been as innocent as it seemed, the PCSOs called for colleagues to attend.
