Newport drug dealer had Rolex watch and Armani shoes
Kane Rudge, 28, from Newport was enjoying a 'lavish lifestyle' on the back of selling cocaine and cannabis across South Wales.
He was caught when police linked him to a drugs line, prosecutor Rose Glanville said.
Newport Crown Court heard how the defendant was seen on CCTV topping up one of the phones used by drug dealers.
Detectives also gathered Snapchat evidence of his involvement in sending out text bombs to potential customers and discussing business with fellow criminals.
When police raided his home on Yewberry Lane two months ago, they found 25g of cocaine worth around £2,500 on the street.
Also seized was 137.5g of cannabis valued at £1,710 and nearly £6,000 cash.
The Armani shoes he had were worth £650 and the Dior trainers £645.
Rudge pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine, possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession with intent to supply cannabis and possession of criminal property.
The offences occurred between September 12, 2024 and March 14.
Rudge has previous convictions for robbery and possession with intent to supply cannabis for which he has served jail time.
Clare Wilks representing him said in mitigation: 'This was unsophisticated offending.
'The defendant has struggled with heavy use of cannabis over a number of years.
'He was spending £100 a day on cannabis alone at one point and was using cocaine on a recreational basis.'
She said he was drug-free since being remanded in custody.
Judge Carl Harrison told Rudge: 'You were plainly enjoying a lavish lifestyle.
'These offences are aggravated by your previous convictions which have now escalated from dealing class B drugs to supplying those at class A.'
The defendant was jailed for four years and told he would serve half of that sentence before being released from custody on licence.
He is set to face a proceeds of crime hearing later this year on August 28.

Migrant machete attacker allowed to stay in Britain
A machete attacker jailed for four years has avoided deportation because of European Union rules. Daniel Koopmann, 24, a German citizen, claimed to have arrived in the UK in 2014 and was granted indefinite leave to remain in 2020 before Brexit. However, in July 2020 he slashed his victim across the forearms in a machete attack. Then, after his arrest, he intimidated his victim over Snapchat and Facebook in an attempt to get the case dropped. The Home Office sought to deport him once he was jailed but he successfully appealed to an upper tribunal which ruled his case should be re-heard because a lower court had failed to take sufficient account of immigration rules for EU citizens. Another, lower court will now have to reconsider his case. The case, disclosed in court papers, is the latest example uncovered by The Telegraph in which illegal migrants or convicted foreign criminals have been able to remain in the UK or halt their deportations. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has announced plans to curb judges' powers to block deportations with new legally-enforced 'common sense' rules to clarify how judges interpret human rights laws and strengthen the public interest test. Koopmann was 19 at the time of the attack when he and another unidentified attacker ambushed their victim as he walked outside a primary school in Northampton at night. While the other attacker held the victim from behind, Koopman swung a machete at him once and cut him across both forearms. In the days that followed, Koopman began a campaign of threatening social media posts in a bid to scare his victim into keeping quiet. They included videos of driving past his address with the caption 'talk get stitches'. Another read: 'Cool your snitching I'm back out now – you better drop the case you silly boy.' In sentencing, His Honour Judge Rupert Mayo told Koopman: 'These threats posted on social media get around instantly. These threats are even more sinister when they are shared and seen by hundreds of your contacts. A custodial sentence is inevitable.' 'Genuine, present' threat Koopmann initially appealed his deportation to a lower immigration tribunal which rejected his claim, saying his conduct represented 'a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of society.' The judge had stated: 'He has shown a disregard for the law and he still fails to acknowledge his own criminality.' However, an upper tribunal has found the judge erred in law and ordered a fresh hearing. It was claimed the previous judge had failed to conduct an assessment of the proportionality of his expulsion as required by European citizen immigration regulations. Gang member not deported over EU rules It follows a similar case where a migrant gang member convicted of manslaughter after the murder of an 18-year-old could not be deported because of EU rules. William George, 28, a semi-professional footballer, was a member of a gang of 10 men convicted of killing Abdul Hafidah, 18, in front of rush hour commuters in Manchester in May 2016. George, a Belgian who moved to Britain with his parents at the age of eight, was jailed for 12 years for manslaughter for his part in the assault. In 2018 he was served with deportation papers, which said he had a 'real risk' of reoffending. Home Office officials lost a six-year legal battle to remove George from the UK, despite him being associated with Manchester's notorious AO gang. Under Brussels directives, which applied until Brexit, EU nationals who lived in Britain for an extended time could only be deported 'on imperative grounds of public security'.

Every parent's nightmare as respected teacher exposed as paedophile who preyed on young girls
Every parent's nightmare as respected teacher exposed as paedophile who preyed on young girls Simon Clark posed as a teenage boy on Snapchat to groom his victims into sending him naked images Simon Clark, 46, formerly of Ellesmere Port but now of no fixed address, was jailed for eight years with four more years on licence after admitting child sex offences (Image: Cheshire Police ) He was a highly respected French teacher. Simon Clark was head of department at Alun School in Mold, with a family at home. But the 46-year-old was harbouring a sickening secret. Clark was posing as a teenage boy on Snapchat in order to entice girls into sending him sexual images. Chester Crown Court heard he preyed on 26 youngsters, aged as young as 10. The father-of-two's wife has since divorced him, his career is over, and he is now behind bars. A judge today sentenced him to eight years in prison, with a further four years to be spent on licence. The paedophile teacher kept his head bowed as he was jailed. The court today [Friday] heard Clark pretended to be a 14-year-old boy using a fake Snapchat profile with the name 'Jamie_jones6968' to send hundreds of explicit messages to girls, persuading some to send sexual images in return. Don't miss a court report by signing up to our crime newsletter here . Judge Simon Berkson said he had no doubt his offending would have continued if he hadn't been stopped after the mother of one victim noticed an unknown man had asked her daughter for a naked photograph and reported him to police. Article continues below It was every parent's nightmare, he said. Simon Clark, 46, of no fixed address, outside Chester Crown Court where he admitted 29 child sex offences The case against Clark began in January, 2023, when police in North Wales were contacted by the concerned parent. Initial enquires suggested that the suspect was living in the Cheshire area, so the case was passed to Cheshire Police. An investigation was subsequently launched by detectives from the Online Child Abuse Investigation Team (OCAIT) at Cheshire Police and during their enquiries officers established that Clark was the suspect in the case. A warrant was conducted at his home in May, 2023, and four devices were seized from the address. During subsequent analysis officers discovered that Clark had been posing as a teenager using the Snapchat account. The judge said the truth must have come as a "terrible shock" to the victims and their families. He branded Clark a "dangerous" offender. Clark was given an eight year term, with four more years on licence on his release, for inciting a child under 13 to engage in penetrative sexual activity. The remaining jail terms, which are all concurrent, range from 40 months to four months. Clark also received concurrent sentences of eight months, four months and four weeks for making indecent images in categories A, B and C. The judge told the defendant he represented a 'significant risk' to children. Judge Berkson said: 'It is, of course, every parent's worst nightmare, this sort of thing happening to their children. 'Many of the offences involve sexual communication, some involving inciting children to engage in sexual activity. This was well planned and sophisticated criminal behaviour. 'You clearly have a sexual interest from the sexual abuse of children and gain sexual gratification from it.' Clark's barrister, Jeremy Rawson, referred to a "black side" to him. He said: "He has lost everything as a result of this. "There's a black side to his character which is unrestrained and he gave into it and he bitterly regrets it." He went on: "It's a terribly sad case. It's sad for those children whose trust has been abused. It's sad for the parents of those children whose trust has been marred by this man. "On the other side of the coin, this is a man who had a future, who had responsibilities and who had an education." When he goes into custody then comes out he will have to "start again from nothing". Clark admitted 29 charges in total. He admitted one count of inciting a child under 13 to engage in penetrative sexual activity, two of inciting a child under 13 to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity and two counts of inciting a child under 16 to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity. He also admitted 21 counts of engaging in sexual communication with a child under 16, making 26 indecent images of children of Category A, making 29 indecent images of children of Category B and making 81 indecent images of children of Category C. Following the sentencing, Detective Constable Louise Murphy and Detective Constable Megan Griffiths, who led the investigation, said: 'Firstly, we would like to praise the victims in this case for the bravery and courage that they have shown throughout this investigation. "Clark was a teacher, he held a position of trust, and the messages we recovered clearly showed that he was well aware that his victims were all under the age of 16, but despite this he continued his crimes in order to satisfy his own warped sexual desires. 'It was apparent throughout the investigation that Clark is a sexual predator who preyed on young girls, with no regard for the effects his actions would have on the victims or their families. 'While they will never be able to forget what he did, we hope the sentence handed to Clark will provide the victims with some closure and allow them to move forward with their lives.' An NSPCC spokesperson said: 'As a teacher Clark had a duty to keep children safe. 'Instead for seven years he posed as a teenage boy on a social media platform, using his fake profile to target and groom young girls before persuading them to send naked images of themselves. 'This kind of sexual abuse can have a devastating impact on the victims and it is vital all the children involved in this case have access to the support they need to move forwards with their lives. Article continues below 'This case also highlights the need for social media sites to be doing much more to protect children and prevent offenders like Clark from using their platforms to carry out their crimes.'

Ellesmere Port: Ex-teacher jailed over child sex offences
