Two women arrested after man stabbed in Milford Haven property – The Pembrokeshire Herald
TWO men have admitted to running a commercial-scale production factory for cannabis edibles in Haverfordwest, following a raid by Dyfed-Powys Police in early June.
The raid, conducted over June 5 and 6, led officers to uncover a large-scale operation producing what is believed to be thousands of cannabis edibles. A police spokesperson described the setup as a “commercial scale production factory.”
Kyle Gadsby, 19, and John Miles, 51, were arrested alongside Chay Miles, 27, during the operation. Initially, Gadsby and John Miles pleaded not guilty to charges of possession with intent to supply cannabis on June 5 and an alternative charge of possession of cannabis. They also denied being involved in the supply of cannabis from August 24 of the previous year to June 5 of this year.
In contrast, Chay Miles admitted to both possession with intent to supply cannabis and being involved in its supply.
A trial for John Miles and Gadsby was scheduled to commence on November 27, while Chay Miles was to be sentenced after the trial’s conclusion. However, on July 25, both Gadsby and John Miles returned to Swansea Crown Court, where they each changed their pleas to guilty for the charges of possession with intent to supply cannabis and being concerned in the supply of cannabis.
The three defendants, all residing on Primrose Drive in Haverfordwest, are now set to be sentenced on August 29.
In the wake of the raid, Dyfed-Powys Police issued a warning to parents about the risks posed by drug-laced ‘sweets’, which may appeal to children. A police spokesperson highlighted the dangers, stating, “Between June 5 and 6, it was discovered that the address was being used to produce what is believed to be thousands of cannabis edibles. There are concerns that the edibles are being supplied to young people.”
The spokesperson further cautioned, “We want parents to be aware of cannabis edibles which, although they contain an element of the Class B drug, do not have the smell or appearance of cannabis. They may also contain other illicit substances. Instead, they look and smell like a normal shop-bought food item but can be stronger than other cannabis products. And because of how they are packaged, they can be particularly appealing to young people and teenagers, who may call them ‘gummies’ or ‘bites’.”
