Mount Pleasant drug dealer jailed after heroin and cocaine mixed with animal sedatives seized

30-year-old Jake Tipping, from Mount Pleasant, was identified following a police stop-search in Hafod where the vulnerable woman informed officers that Tipping and another man had moved into her home.

After police let themselves into the property, two wraps of substances later found to be cocaine were found in a toilet Tipping had just exited. On his arrest, a mobile phone and £525 in cash were found on his person.

Officers also found a number of wraps of powder which was later discovered to be heroin mixed with medetomidine – a powerful tranquiliser used by animal vets during anaesthetic procedures.

At court, Tipping pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin, possession of a Class A drug and possession of criminal property.

He has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Tipping has previous convictions for robbery and for possession of a firearm, where he was sentenced to 5 years in prison in 2021. He was out of prison on licence for the firearms offence when he was caught for the drugs offences and was recalled back to prison when arrested.

PC Corey Morris from South Wales Police said: “Jake Tipping had hopes of getting rich through selling Class A drugs to others, without a care for the damage that those drugs would do to the buyers and those around them.

“The illegal drugs industry is an inherently selfish and dangerous trade, where suppliers are only concerned about their own finances.

“The punishment for Jake Tipping is that he has been duly sent to prison.”

My Lucky Break: Mount Pleasant mum bags £90,909 lottery win hours after major arm op

Gemma Archer, 44, bagged £90,909 less than 24 hours after undergoing major surgery on her broken wrist and forearm.  

The astonished mum-of-three suffered the serious injury on Easter Sunday after her first try at a new hobby went horribly wrong. 

Gemma, of North Hill Road in Mount Pleasant, said: “Yesterday, I was in hospital having an operation and the very next day I’ve won over £90,000.

“I’m still in shock. I couldn’t breathe. It’s life-changing. I just really, really wasn’t expecting it. It’s really strange as it doesn’t happen to people like me.

“For the first time in two and half weeks there is no pain right now. The adrenaline and everything have just kicked in. I’m in a world of my own.”

Gemma was among 11 neighbours sharing the lottery’s Millionaire Street prize after SA1 6XS in Swansea was announced as the winner on Saturday 10 May. Each ticket was worth £90,909. 

The lottery had been trying to get in touch with Gemma before they turned up on her street, but she missed their phone calls while in hospital.  

Gemma said: “It’s been a very big 24 hours. I only found out I’d won something at 10am this morning when Postcode Lottery knocked on my door. A few hours later I got given a huge cheque with some of my neighbours.” 

Gemma endured the unfortunate accident after her first time roller skating two weeks ago.  

She said: “Me and my friend thought we’d take up a new summer hobby and we tried roller skating. And I lasted 10 minutes.  

“It was a just small fall, but I landed really awkwardly. I did a good job of it. I really broke everything in my lower arm, and I had the operation yesterday to try and fix it all. I got a plate and screws fitted to put it all back together.”

 But despite the serious injury, it hasn’t deterred Gemma from lacing up her skates again.  

She said: “I have ordered all the protective elbow, wrist and knee padding. I’m going straight back to try again… once I’ve healed.”  

It’s not the first time Gemma has required surgery after fracturing her elbow while taking a tumble on a night out with friends some years ago.  

Now she’s quickly hoping to put her winnings to use for a fun holiday.  

Gemma said: “Me and my best friend are going on holiday together. I’m going home to book one now.  

“I actually missed out on a girl’s holiday to Morocco last year, so I might go there.

“As long as there’s lots of cocktails. All the rounds are on me.”

She also can’t wait to splash out on her three sons aged 10, 14, and 18.

Gemma said: “I have three boys, and they are going to have an amazing year now – holidays and whatever they want.”

Gemma’s friends had promised to take her out for the day to take her mind off her injury but now she says she’ll be taking them out to kickstart her celebrations.  

She said: “My original plan was to go on a day out with my friends, they were going to pick me up and distract me from the pain. But I’ll take them out for lunch and drinks.  

Gemma added: “I might have a little party with the children tonight and a nice big bottle of champagne.”

Former neighbour Kay-Marie Astley, 52, scored £90,909 with her previous postcode despite not living on the winning street for six years.  

Kay-Marie said the money will be life-changing for her and her 16-year-old son.  

She said: “I want to try and buy the house that I’m currently renting now. It’ll be incredible knowing that my son, who is autistic, has a house when I’m gone.

“It’s generational, this money hasn’t just impacted me but pretty much every generation that’s going to come after us.  

“It means that freedom of choice that I’ve never had before. When it hits the bank account it’ll be wow!”

Kay-Marie, now living in Resolven, a small village outside Swansea, had called up Postcode Lottery and told them she was moving house and would need to cancel her ticket.  

The mum-of-one was full of thanks to a Postcode Lottery employee for informing her that she could keep playing the lottery with her old postcode.

Kay-Marie said: “We were renting here and our lovely landlady retired and had to sell the property. We got offered a little place and it was with a heavy heart that we left.

“It was someone at the lottery when I rang up to cancel it, the lady said ‘you know you can play with both [postcodes]’.

“I’m very glad otherwise I wouldn’t have won today.” 

Kay-Marie spoke of her joy at being reunited with her previous neighbours on such a special day.

She added: “I feel like I’m dreaming to be back here and for this to have happened. It’s been great catching up with old neighbours and it’s been even better to know that many of them have also won.”

Another £90,909 cheque holder was Dimuthu Kobbewala, 34, who only started playing the lottery at the beginning of the year after seeing someone winning on Facebook.  

Dimuthu couldn’t believe his luck when his winning sum was revealed and said he’d have been happy with £250 to fix his cracked car windscreen.

He said: “I thought if I win £250 that would be totally worth it for me because my car windscreen is cracked, and I need to spend £250 to replace it.

“This is crazy. I’ve got a sore face from smiling.”

The care home care assistant moved to the UK from his home country of Sri Lanka in 2022 to study at the University of South Wales.  

Dimuthu said: “I’ll live the same, but my life will be changed. I won’t change my job, I enjoy my job. When I go to work many of the people we care for feel alone but we try and make them happy and make it a new home for them.”  

When Dimuthu was asked if he thinks helping others had a part to play in his win. He said: “I’m a Buddhist and we believe in Karma and that what we do will come back around.”  

The keen traveller plans to save much of his winnings for the future but already has some dream trips lined up.  

He said: “I love to travel and for my next vacation I plan to go to Germany for one week, but I might go to USA before that. I’ve always wanted to go there.” 

Dimuthu called his mum and dad in Sri Lanka after receiving his huge prize.  

He said: “I spoke to my parents in Sri Lanka and they couldn’t believe it. I sent a picture to them of me with the cheque and Postcode Lottery so they would see it wasn’t a scam.”

Others on the street who took home £90,909 were Balazs Barta, 33, Tracey Garey, 60, and Alan Williams, 55.  

The neighbours’ win also means funding for a range of local charities, including The Orchard Project which has received £50,000 from Postcode Community Trust.

The charity has supported and trained volunteers who care for an orchard in North Hill Community Garden, located at the end of the winning street – and they are the only national charity dedicated to the creation, restoration and celebration of community orchards. 

Its aim is for everyone in cities across the UK to be within walking distance of a thriving, community-run orchard. And over the last five years, the charity has planted and restored a network of 32 community orchards across the city, engaging over 2,000 people in orchard training and community events.

Abby Cremin, Head of Operations and Programmes, said: “This incredible support from People’s Postcode Lottery ensures that we will be able to plant and care for more orchards across the city this year, train at least 100 new volunteers to care for them, whilst continuing to support our existing network of 32 orchard groups to build skills and confidence.

“Thanks to players of Postcode Lottery we can create more orchards in community areas, but also in schools, and that’s a really important part of what we do. We want to help children to connect with nature and learn where their food comes from and also how important orchards are for nature and biodiversity.”

Mount Pleasant man jailed for masturbating at Swansea bus station in “filthy behaviour”

43-year-old Mark Jones, from Mount Pleasant, has been jailed after indecently exposing himself and performing a sexual act at the city’s bus station.

Swansea Crown Court heard that Jones committed the offence shortly after 1:30am on February 1 this year, in full view of passing members of public. He refused to leave when confronted by security staff.

Jones fled the scene upon the arrival of police but was soon arrested nearby. He told officers he would continue to enact the same behaviour if he was released.

He has 19 previous convictions for 32 offences including indecent assaults of children and multiple exposures and outraging public decency. 

Judge Huw Rees sentenced Jones to six months in prison for his “filthy behaviour” at the bus station, warning him that further offences would see increasingly lengthy custodial sentences.

Sergeant Mark Bateman from South Wales Police said: “The behaviour shown by Mark Jones is completely unacceptable and the public should not have to witness these acts as they go about their daily business.

“This is by no means the first time that Mark has committed an offence of this nature. We hope that there is a way of finally bringing him to change his ways.”

Man jailed after more than 200 cannabis plants found at Mount Pleasant home

34-year-old Aldi Pire was detained during a warrant at an address on Cromwell Street in Mount Pleasant, during which over 100 mature cannabis plants and 125-150 infant plants were discovered.

He has been sentenced to 12 months in prison.

Sergeant Craig Evans from South Wales Police said: “Aldi Pire is just the latest individual to be sent to prison due to his part in the illegal drug trade.

“Cannabis factories such as this are set up in a way that dangerously reroutes electricity from other sources, which poses a great danger to neighbouring properties, not to mention the other illegal activities which are funded by producing cannabis on this scale.

“However, people like Aldi Pire do not give consideration to these dangers.”

Firefighter quarry rescue for Daisy the dog

The incident at the Rosehill Quarry Community Park saw the dog, named Daisy, become trapped on the edge of a steep cliff after taking a walk at the popular Swansea hillside wildlife corridor, between Townhill, Mayhill and Mount Pleasant.

Specialist firefighters with rope equipment came to the rescue however, navigating down the steep cliff face and reuniting Daisy with her worried owner.

A spokesperson for Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said: “At 7.49am on Sunday, May 4th, the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service crew from Pontardawe Fire Station was called to an incident at the Rosehill Quarry Community Park in Swansea.

“The crew responded following reports of one dog that was stuck on the edge of a steep cliff. A Level 3 Rope Rescue Team was deployed to locate and safely retrieve the dog, crew members successfully recovered the dog, named Daisy, and reunited her with her owner.

“The crew left the scene at 10.18am.”

Once a stone quarry in the 1840s, Rosehill was transformed into a community park in the 1980s and 90s after years of neglect. The quarry features ponds, a stream, a waterfall, and various recreational facilities like a BMX track and a labyrinth.

Swansea man jailed after car number plate trolley dash

South Wales Policer say 27-year-old Daniel Cooper, from Mount Pleasant, damaged property at multiple locations in the city centre, being caught on CCTV in the process.

He was also seen on CCTV pulling a trolley full of number plates along a street with over ten reports of stolen number plates ultimately able to be linked back to him following investigation.

On May 17 2024, Cooper was issued a Section 35 dispersal order requiring him to leave the area of Swansea city centre for 48 hours after he was reported for threatening behaviour at a Wind Street bar. He returned to the same bar later that day and was arrested.

Cooper has been sentenced to four months in prison.

PC Jessica Fyfield from South Wales Police said: “Daniel Cooper’s offending spree was brazen, with a large number of number plates stolen in the same area and time frame.

“Hopefully he takes the time in prison to think about the consequences for his actions. The community will be given some much-needed relief from Cooper’s selfish actions.”
