A MAN who was discovered to be supplying class A drugs in Towyn has been jailed.
Liam Mousdell, 24, of Beaconsfield, Prescot was sentenced to 27 months’ imprisonment at Caernarfon Crown Court today (August 21).
He had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

Prosecuting, Laura Knightly told the court that Mousdell used a caravan, situated on Towyn Road, as a base from which to sell both cocaine and heroin.
Within the space of a month, he had made approximately £11,000 through sales of the drugs.
Police seized phones, bags and various other paraphernalia from Mousdell when they discovered him, the court heard.
He was remanded in custody roughly two-and-a-half months ago, following his arrest.
Defending Mousdell, who had three previous convictions, Simon Killeen said that his client had accepted that immediate custody was inevitable in his case.
But while he accepted that his offending was “just too serious” to avoid immediate custody, Mr Killeen deemed Mousdell to be “capable of rehabilitation”.
He labelled him a “realistic, remorseful man”, and invited the court to make a number of reductions when passing his custodial sentence.
Sentencing, Judge Niclas Parry ordered the forfeiture and destruction of all items seized from Mousdell.
Mousdell will pay a statutory surcharge within three months of his release from prison.
“We can only try deter this by imposing significant custodial sentences,” Judge Parry told him.
