Drug dealer caught with cocaine in Kinder Egg was paying off mum's debt
A drug dealer caught with cocaine in a Kinder Egg had been paying off his mum's debts. Kane Braisdell was selling cocaine from the family home in Wrexham. The 21-year-old admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine and possession with intent to supply cocaine. A judge sentenced him to two years imprisonment suspended for two years. Prosecutor Myles Wilson told Caernarfon Crown Court the defendant was selling cocaine from his flat in Caia Park, Wrexham for about seven weeks in May and June this year. You can sign up for all the latest court stories here Braisdell would send out bulk messages advertising the sale of cocaine typically to 200 people at a time, and take their orders. During his spree he changed the number of his graft phone, said Mr Wilson. But police traced it and he was arrested on June 26. In a search at his home they found six wraps of crack cocaine in a Kinder Egg, £300 in cash, a dealer's list, scales and the graft phone. Braisdell gave no comment answers in interview. Alun Williams, defending, said the "naive and immature" defendant had been "young and incredibly foolish". He has struggled during his time on remand in prison and could be rehabilitated, he claimed. The judge Her Honour Nicola Jones told Braisdell, of Tryweryn Place, Wrexham, he had been under pressure, had been working off a drug debt "which was mainly as a result of your mother's addiction", and has not re-offended. Suspending the prison sentence she ordered the defendant to do 25 days of rehabilitation activity and go on a six-month drug rehabilitation programme.

Llanfyllin Town bolster squad with three new signings
LLANFYLLIN Town Football Club has begun its strengthening ahead of next season with three new signings. The MMP Central Wales League North club has struggled this season but manager Liam Braisdell has wasted no time in bolstering his squad ahead of next season. Matt Morris heads the cast of new arrivals following his signing from JD Cymru North side Newtown. Braisdell said: 'As soon as myself and Jensen knew there was a chance of bringing Matt back to the club, we jumped at it. "Matt has qualities beyond his years and has had many clubs chasing him at this level. He is very confident and technically brilliant for such a young age. "It's a huge first step in our recruitment and there will be others soon.' Former Morda United, Shrewsbury Town and St Martins goalkeeper Oakley Taylor also lands Cae Llwyn. Braisdell said: 'Having had a good chat with him about our plans, he was keen to join. "He's a fantastic shot stopper, a brilliant personality with a voice for his defenders. I feel we have a very good young goalkeeper on our hands with real quality in his distribution also." Ex-Brickfield Rangers player Harvey Jones arrives from Salop Leisure League One club St Martins. Braisdell said: 'Harvey is an outstanding competitor who's aggressive and hates losing duels. 'He's a good passer of the ball with a strong aerial presence which we feel we're lacking a little bit at the moment. 'Harvey will no doubt be a huge asset to us moving forward. We still need to go further to ensure this club is competitive next season but it's been a good week.'
