A drug dealer who used his phone to sell cocaine in the Amlwch area has been jailed for three years.

Christopher McGrath (44) from Cemaes was arrested last December following a joint investigation by detectives in North Wales and Merseyside into a drug supply ring.

Caernarfon Crown Court heard a phone seized from the 44 year-old contained bulk messages advertising cocaine between July and December 2025.

McGrath, who pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, was also handed a criminal behaviour order (CBO) for five years.

Following sentencing on Tuesday, Sgt Dylan Thomas from the neighbourhood policing team said: "Drug dealing is a blight to our local communities and directly affects those who live and work in the area."

"Criminals who are involved in organised crime have no thought for anyone other than themselves and will cause devastating harm to vulnerable people for their own financial gain."

"Our team will continue to make Anglesey a hostile environment for those who engage in organised criminality and bring offenders to justice."
