A TEENAGER is facing a long time behind bars after he pleaded guilty to a drug dealing charge.

Joshua Seivwright, 18, of Stow Hill, Newport, admitted possession of crack cocaine with intent to supply when he appeared before the city’s crown court.

The offence was committed on July 8.

Judge Daniel Williams warned him a pre-sentence report would only go towards determining how long he will be end up serving at a young offender institution.
