Darren Willis

Drug dealer Darren Willis made his own ecstasy tablets which were destined to be sold at a major British dance music festival.

It was planned that revellers at Creamfields last summer would be supplied with the MDMA he was producing.

But when the annual event in Cheshire was cancelled because of coronavirus, he sold the drugs on the streets of Gwent.

Willis, 35, of Ebbw View Terrace, Newbridge, was jailed for three years and four months.

Jonathan Plummer

Two burglars were jailed after they carried out a series of “frightening” daytime raids in which all their victims were at home at the time.

Stuart Wilson and Jonathan Plummer, both from Tredegar, broke into houses and a flat in the Ebbw Vale area because they were “desperate for money to buy drugs”.

A judge at Cardiff Crown Court, Recorder Timothy Brennan QC, told them: “These were daytime burglaries during which the victims had the hugely distressing experience of meeting the burglar or burglars.

“They were frightening burglaries.”
