Two men sentenced for class A drug supply in Monmouthshire and Torfaen

Joel Phasey, 22, and Ahmed Hussain, 26, were convicted of operating a county‑line operation that supplied cocaine and heroin across Monmouthshire, Torfaen and Newport. Police uncovered “text‑bombs” – messages advertising drug sales – and seized Class A and B drugs, mobile phones, cash and nitrous‑oxide canisters.

At Cardiff Crown Court, Phasey was sentenced to 32 months in prison, while Hussain received five years and 219 days. PC Daniel Cleland said, “Tackling drug supply, dismantling county lines and protecting the public from illegal drugs and associated crime is a priority for us. We hope that these sentences demonstrate our commitment to taking drugs off our streets and see dealers face the consequences of their actions.”
