A 75-year-old drug dealer has had more than £80,000 worth of his assets confiscated.

Arthur Hughes, of Maes Bleddyn, Rachub, Gwynedd, was given a 38-month prison sentence in June for possession of heroin with intent to supply and possession of criminal property.

On 12 October at Caernarfon Crown Court, the full value of Hughes' crimes was estimated to be more than £151,730, North Wales Police said.

The force said it seized £82,401 worth of cash and criminal assets which was ordered to be forfeited.

North Wales Police said drugs and paraphernalia found during a warrant at his address were also ordered to be destroyed.

PC Jacob Swift said: "We continue to pursue those who seek to profit from drug dealing and will use all the tools at our disposal to strip criminals of any assets they have acquired as a result of their activities."
