The force confirmed that during the day, a 16-year-old was spotted in possession of a knife by plain clothed officers and was later stop searched by uniformed colleagues. Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that these were seized, and that the teenager remains under investigation. Seven further positive stop searches were also carried out on under 18s who were found in possession of cannabis.

Milford Haven man went to sell drugs at Winchester festival
Prosecutor Georgia Donohue told Swansea Crown Court that police stopped a vehicle on the A31 at Winchester on August 8 last year after receiving intelligence it was involved in supplying drugs. Justin Cadwell was in the passenger seat, and his sister was driving. Upon searching the vehicle, officers found 44.363 grams of cannabis, nitrous oxide cannisters worth a total of £2,225, two packages of ketamine totalling 15.11g, 12.4g of MDMA, and another two small quantities of cannabis. 'It's accepted this was being taken to a festival,' said Ms Donohue. For the latest crime and court news for west Wales, you can join our Facebook group here. Cadwell told officers his sister was not involved, and an analysis of the messages on her phone confirmed this. Officers found drug-related messages on the defendant's phone going back to December 2 the previous year. Cadwell's home was searched, and officers found 53.25g of cannabis, 450g of cannabis resin, 29.8g of cocaine, a cutting agent, and empty snap bags in a locked garden shed. He was also found to have £25,307.85 in cash stashed in the shed and his bedroom. Cadwell claimed the drugs were for his personal use, and the cash was from his work as a window cleaner and gifted from his dad. The defendant was bailed, and when this lapsed he was released under investigation. Justin Cadwell went back to dealing after he was caught taking drugs to sell at a festival. (Image: Dyfed-Powys Police) Emergency services were called to an e-bike crash at Hakin Point in Milford Haven at around 7pm on March 1. The bike had no lights, and the passenger wasn't wearing a helmet. The rider – Cadwell – was knocked unconscious and his passenger was hospitalised. Paramedics cut off Cadwell's jacket to treat him, and white powder spilled out. He was found in possession of 10.21g of cocaine and 60g of cannabis, as well as £588.03 in cash. Cadwell refused to take a drugs test, and claimed the drugs were for personal use and the cash was a loan from his dad. The defendant, of Picton Close in Hakin, pleaded guilty to two offences of possession with intent to supply cocaine, three offences of possession with intent to supply cannabis, as well as possession with intent to supply nitrous oxide and cannabis resin, and being concerned in the supply of cannabis. He also admitted possession of criminal property and failing to provide a specimen when required. Ryan Bowen, in mitigation, said: 'The defendant understands that, in his case, only immediate custody can be warranted.' He said Cadwell's guilty pleas indicated a 'genuine acceptance of wrongdoing' and were his most powerful mitigation. Mr Bowen said none of Cadwell's 15 previous convictions for 26 offences were for drug supply offences – although five were for drug possession. He said 28-year-old Cadwell had been using drugs since he was 17, and that his addiction was a 'considerable shame for him' Judge Geraint Walters sentenced Cadwell for two years for the Winchester offences, and an additional three years for the Milford Haven offences. A Proceeds of Crime Act application has been made to attempt to recoup the profits Cadwell made from his offending.
