Eight people have been convicted of conspiring to supply class A drugs into Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire over a nine-month period.
A Dyfed-Powys Police investigation into the large scale supply of cocaine resulted in eight members of an organised crime group being charged with serious drug offences before appearing at Swansea Crown Court.
The investigation began when a DPD courier van was stopped by police officers on the M4 near Pont Abraham, Carmarthenshire on August 8, 2025. Over 1.6kg of high purity cocaine, worth almost £190,000, was intercepted.
Further enquiries identified eight people as being involved in a complex conspiracy to supply these drugs. These included upstream suppliers and couriers out of the Dyfed-Powys area, customers purchasing wholesale amounts, and local distributors.
Officers from the force’s Serious and Organised Crime Team identified Tommy Lee Jones, of Monkton as playing a leading role as head of the Pembrokeshire gang. He was sourcing multiple kilograms of the illicit drugs on each delivery date from supplier Ahmed Al-Farraji and his associate Adam Noraddin, both from Cardiff.
Jones would make regular contact with the suppliers, and large cash payments were handed over to Al-Farraji. The supplier would then arrange for the drugs to be delivered in luxury high end cars from Bristol and Birmingham to rural locations including Stepaside, Lamphey, Hundleton and Monkton for onward supply by members of the gang who were based in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
Kalum Haines, Leon Haines, Zak Fecci were identified as being trusted members of the gang, taking possession of the drugs directly from the upstream suppliers and acting as distributors of the cocaine in Pembrokeshire. Ryan Hare carried out the same role in Carmarthenshire and was identified as being responsible for organising the collection and delivery of drugs seized by police on August 8th.
Usman Afsar was found to have played a role in the gang’s activities when he drove from Bristol to Pembrokeshire as a courier and met with gang members riding e-bikes in Pembroke.
Detective Sergeant Mark Jones, of Dyfed-Powys Police’s Serious and Organised Crime Team, said: “After a number of months of enquiries, we built a case clearly evidencing that Ahmed Al-Farraji travelled from Cardiff to meet with Tommy Lee Jones in rural locations. Upstream supply couriers would also drive from Bristol to Pembrokeshire on these dates and supplied Tommy Lee Jones with large amounts of cocaine.
“These deliveries were then collected by loyal customers of his and distributed throughout two counties.
“We estimate that the total amount of controlled drugs handled by the gang between February and November 2025 was that of large scale commercial trafficking”.
A proactive police operation was carried out to arrest all eight suspects over the course of a week. Warrants were carried out by SOCT and Neighbourhood Policing and Prevention Teams in Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Cardiff and Bristol, with the following defendants arrested and charged with conspiracy to supply class A drugs:
Tommy Lee Jones, aged 33, of Castle Quarry in Monkton
Ryan Hare, aged 27, of Heol Cae Pownd in Cefneithin
Kalum Haines, aged 22, of Woodland Park in Neyland
Leon Haines, aged 26, of Ashdale Lane in Pembroke
Zack Fecci, aged 20, of Hawkstone Road in Pembroke Dock
Ahmed Al-Farraji, aged 25, of Topaz Street in Cardiff
Usman Afsar, aged 41, of Woodborough Street in Bristol
Adam Noraddin, aged 25, of Plas Nanthelyg in Cardiff
All defendants have appeared at Swansea Crown Court where Jones, Hare, Haines, Haines and Fecci admitted their involvement.
Al-Farraji, Noraddin and Afsar were found guilty of the same offences following a six-week trial.
Officer in the case DC Sam Burson added: “These individuals have worked together as an organised criminal gang bringing large amounts of class A drugs into our towns and villages.
“They have shown an utter disregard to the safety of the communities in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, and contributed with the adverse effect that drugs have on the social and economic wellbeing of the places that we live and work.
“Through detailed and thorough investigative analysis, we have brought charges against and dismantled a group of people who thought they could profit from their criminal activity. The strength of evidence against them has, however, resulted with positive outcomes and the conviction of these individuals.”
The defendants will be sentenced at a later date.
