Prince Asareb Boakye (19), from Donnington pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis between 2023 and 2025, as well as a separate charge of possession of Cannabis.

He was also found guilty on 16th January of threatening with a knife and false imprisonment after a trial at Mold Crown Court. Boakye was acquitted of a separate  sexual offence.

On Friday, he was jailed for six and a half years, and made the subject of a 10 year restraining order.
