A DRUG dealer who made nearly £100,000 selling cocaine has zero assets to his name and was ordered to hand over £1.

Darren Price, 38, from Caerphilly, was jailed for 32 months earlier this year after he was caught trafficking the class A drug.

He was back before Cardiff Crown Court for a proceeds of crime hearing.

Jenny Yeo, prosecuting, said Price had benefitted by £98,182.69 from drug dealing but had no assets which could be seized.

Although Price was supposed to pay £1 according to the regulations, Judge Niclas Parry waived the nominal amount.

The judge then joked with the defendant that if he was “lucky enough to win the pools” the authorities would come after him for the £98,000.

Price, of Mary Street, Trethomas, had pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply on December 12, 2020.
