Dealer who recruited children sent to jail

Western Mail

September 26, 2025

A GANG member who made more than £95,000 from dealing Class A drugs will only have to pay back £1 having splurged his ill-gotten gains.

Tyrese Jones was jailed earlier this year after he and his accomplices recruited children to work as street dealers and couriers for a Cardiff drug operation known as the ‘CC line!

When police raided a house in the city they caught members of the gang packaging two kilos of heroin ready for onward supply.

Jones, 23, of Ronald Place in Ely, was sentenced in March at Cardiff Crown Court to eight years and nine months in prison after admitting a conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine and two counts of human trafficking.

A SAINTLY SPOT TO FIND A CHAPEL

FROM the outside this property for sale is a beautiful and carefully restored Wesleyan Chapel, originally built in 1858, and you think inside it is either still set up for worship with pews and a pulpit or maybe the hard work has been done and the conversion into a dwelling has already happened.
