An organised crime group used a fleet of flash cars to deliver large quantities of cocaine into west Wales over a nine-month period, a court has heard. Police described the trafficking operation as 'commercial' in scale, and said those involved 'have shown an utter disregard' for the safety of communities across Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
Intercepted Delivery Unravels Conspiracy
The conspiracy began to unravel after a DPD courier van was stopped by police officers on the M4 near Pont Abraham services in Carmarthenshire on August 8, 2025. Inside the vehicle was 1.6kg of high-purity cocaine worth almost £190,000.
The subsequent investigation by Dyfed-Powys Police's serious and organised crime team identified eight people as being involved in a complex conspiracy to supply cocaine across Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. Many of the deliveries were made in luxury and high-end cars driven from the Bristol and Birmingham areas to west Wales.
Key Figures in the Gang
Officers identified Tommy Lee Jones from Monkton as playing a leading role as head of the Pembrokeshire gang. Jones was sourcing multiple kilograms of illicit drugs on each delivery date from upstream supplier Ahmed Al-Farraji and his associate Adam Noraddin, both from Cardiff.
Jones would make regular contact with the suppliers, and large cash payments were handed over to Al-Farraji. The supplier would then arrange for the drugs to be delivered in luxury high-end cars from Bristol and Birmingham to rural locations including Stepaside, Lamphey, Hundleton and Monkton for onward supply by gang members based in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
Local Distributors and Courier
Kalum Haines, Leon Haines, and Zak Fecci were identified as trusted members of the organised crime group, taking possession of the drugs directly from upstream suppliers and acting as local distributors of cocaine in Pembrokeshire. Ryan Hare carried out the same role in Carmarthenshire and was identified as being responsible for organising the collection and delivery of drugs intercepted by police at Pont Abraham.
Usman Afsar was found to have played a role in the gang's activities when he drove from Bristol to Pembrokeshire as a courier and met with gang members riding e-bikes in Pembroke.
Convictions and Sentencing
Jones, Hare, Kalum Haines, Leon Haines, and Fecci admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine, while Al-Farraji, Noraddin, and Afsar were convicted following a six-week trial which concluded at Swansea Crown Court this week. All defendants will be sentenced at a later date.
The convicted individuals are: Tommy Lee Jones, 33, of Castle Quarry, Monkton; Ryan Hare, 27, of Heol Cae Pownd, Cefneithin; Kalum Haines, 22, of Woodland Park, Neyland; Leon Haines, 26, of Ashdale Lane, Pembroke; Zack Fecci, 20, of Hawkstone Road, Pembroke Dock; Ahmed Al-Farraji, 25, of Topaz Street, Cardiff; Usman Afsar, 41, of Woodborough Street, Bristol; and Adam Noraddin, 25, of Plas Nanthelyg, Cardiff.
Police Statements
Speaking after the guilty verdicts, Dyfed-Powys Police detective sergeant Mark Jones said: 'After a number of months of enquiries, we built a case clearly evidencing that Ahmed Al-Farraji travelled from Cardiff to meet with Tommy Lee Jones in rural locations. Upstream supply couriers would also drive from Bristol to Pembrokeshire on these dates and supplied Tommy Lee Jones with large amounts of cocaine.'
'These deliveries were then collected by loyal customers of his and distributed throughout two counties. We estimate that the total amount of controlled drugs handled by the gang between February and November 2025 was that of large scale commercial trafficking.'
The officer in the case, detective constable Sam Burson, added: 'These individuals have worked together as an organised criminal gang bringing large amounts of class A drugs into our towns and villages. They have shown an utter disregard to the safety of the communities in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, and contributed with the adverse effect that drugs have on the social and economic wellbeing of the places that we live and work.'
'Through detailed and thorough investigative analysis, we have brought charges against and dismantled a group of people who thought they could profit from their criminal activity. The strength of evidence against them has, however, resulted with positive outcomes and the conviction of these individuals.'
