A DEALER jailed for more than five years for trafficking heroin made just £3,685 from selling the drug.
David Williams, 45, of Ty Coch, Rhymney, appeared at Cardiff Crown Court for his Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) hearing in front of Judge Richard Williams.
The defendant was sent to prison for five years and seven months at Newport Crown Court last autumn after he admitted the possession of heroin with intent to supply.
At his POCA hearing this week, Judge Williams heard how Williams benefited by £3,685 from the sale of class A drug and has £1,910 left in available assets.

The prosecution was represented by Laura Shepherd and Williams by Eugene Egan.
