A man and a woman from Rhymney have been sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court for drug dealing. 

Jack Theobald, 23, of Hill Street, and Aimee O’Connor, 29, of Church Street, were stopped and searched by police in Rhymney on February 9, 2022.

They were both arrested after police found cannabis and phones which indicated the two were dealing from the blue Volkswagen Golf which was being driven by Ms O’Connor.
