Editor<p><strong>Milford Haven man jailed after e-scooter crash reveals £15k drug stash</strong></p><p><strong>Justin Cadwell, 29</strong>, appeared at <strong>Swansea Crown Court</strong> on <strong>24 July</strong>, where he was sentenced for multiple drug offences and possession of criminal property. He also received a <strong>two-year driving ban</strong> for failing to provide a blood sample.</p><p>The charges stem from a collision at <strong>Hakin Point</strong> on <strong>1 March</strong>, when Cadwell and another rider were found unconscious next to an e-scooter. While waiting for paramedics, officers spotted a bag of herbal cannabis hanging from Cadwell’s coat. As paramedics cut open the coat, they inadvertently sliced into a concealed bag of white powder. A second bag of powder and <strong>£570 in cash</strong> were also recovered.</p><p>The powder was confirmed to be <strong>cocaine</strong>, with a street value estimated between <strong>£7,080 and £9,200</strong>. Cadwell was charged with possession of cocaine and cannabis with intent to supply.</p><p>At the time of the crash, Cadwell was already under investigation following a <strong>stop check in Hampshire in August 2024</strong>, where officers found large quantities of <strong>nitrous oxide, cocaine, cannabis and ketamine</strong> in his vehicle. He claimed the substances were for personal use.</p><p>A subsequent search of his home in <strong>Observatory Avenue, Milford Haven</strong>, uncovered further drugs, cutting agents and <strong>over £25,000 in cash</strong>. The additional haul had an estimated street value of <strong>£5,031 to £6,191</strong>.</p><p><strong>Detective Sergeant Vinny Barrett, Dyfed-Powys Police</strong>, said:</p><blockquote><p>“This was a very thorough investigation by our officers, who were proactive in stopping Cadwell’s vehicle out of the force area, and conducted a subsequent search of his home in Pembrokeshire. We believe this sentence will have disrupted the supply of cocaine, ketamine and cannabis in the Milford Haven area, which is a positive result for the community.”</p></blockquote><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/cannabis/" target="_blank">#Cannabis</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/cocaine/" target="_blank">#cocaine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/drugs/" target="_blank">#drugs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/dyfed-powys-police/" target="_blank">#DyfedPowysPolice</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/escooter/" target="_blank">#eScooter</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/hakin-point/" target="_blank">#HakinPoint</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/ketamine/" target="_blank">#ketamine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/milford-haven/" target="_blank">#MilfordHaven</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://swanseabaynews.com/tag/nitrous-oxide/" target="_blank">#NitrousOxide</a></p>
