Evans pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply crack and heroin on December 11 at Cardiff Crown Court. He was sentenced to three years imprisonment.

Detective Inspector Tim Jones said: 'I am really proud of the actions of my officer which clearly shows the commitment we have in tackling county lines drug dealing.

'We are also thankful for members of the public at the scene who assisted DC Davies whilst police were arriving at the scene. Vital video evidence was supplied by a group of cyclists who witnessed the incident.

'The lengthy custodial sentence should act as a deterrent to those tempted to get involved with county line drug dealing.

Our force remains committed to tackling county lines dealing and this is one of a number of arrests made recently.'
