A DRUG dealer caught with 5.5kg of heroin with a street value of £500,000
was warned he’s facing years in jail.
Vince Hall, 49, from Newport
was found with the huge haul in his car after being pulled over by Gwent Police
on the A48 in Monmouth.
He was arrested on
September 16 last year.
Hall, of Comfrey Close, has admitted possession of heroin with
intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of the class A drug.
He has entered a basis
of plea and his sentence was adjourned to March 8.
Cardiff Crown Court
heard he has a previous drug trafficking conviction but had not been in trouble
with the law since 2006.
Judge Daniel Williams
told Hall: “You understand you will face a custodial sentence of some length.â€
The defendant was
remanded in custody.
