Drug dealing brothers were found with a combined amount of 18.2kg of heroin and crack cocaine worth £1m after one of them was pulled over by police while transporting the drugs. Scott Foote and Simon Foote were based in Liverpool but delivered huge amounts of Class A drugs to areas across Wales.
The pair dealt in wholesale amounts of heroin and crack cocaine. They were caught after Simon Foote, 32, was stopped by police in Newport while trying to move 1kg of crack cocaine to Swansea. His brother, who is 27, ran their operation from his home in Liverpool, our sister site Wales Online reports.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday heard police raided the younger Foote's house on April 27 and found 14.2kg of heroin and 4kg of cocaine. He was also found in possession of a stun gun, and drug paraphernalia including pressing moulds, mixing equipment and packaging.
