A DRUG-DEALING family who almost cost a 16-year-old boy his life by supplying him with ‘Pink Teddy Bar’ ecstasy tablets have been jailed.

A father and his two sons have amassed sentences of more than 10 years in prison after they were found guilty of possession with intent to supply or being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, namely cocaine and ecstasy.

Rhun Glyn, 20; Evan Glyn, 18; and their father, Nigel Glyn Jones, 47, all of Penrhyndeudraeth appeared before Caernarfon Crown Court on Thursday, 24 May.

As part of their trial, the court heard how the villainous trio pushed Pink Teddy Bear ecstasy tablets to a 16-year-old boy who was attending a youth disco in Barmouth in December 2016.

The teenager was left gravely ill, but fortunately recovered from his ordeal.

The three were also convicted of possession of cocaine and ecstasy with intent to supply after police recovered them from the house they all shared in Penrhyndeudraeth.

Rhun Glyn was jailed for three years, Evan Glyn for two-and-a-half years and Nigel Glyn Jones for five years.

Rhun Glyn is already in prison serving a six-year sentence for smashing a victim over the head with a bottle in Blaenau Ffestiniog in June 2017 before dragging the bottle’s jagged edges across the assaulted man’s cheek.

Speaking about the jail sentences, investigating officer DC Dave Rock said: “Those few in our communities who supply Class A controlled drugs must realise there is a consequence to their actions, both to those who risk their lives in taking uncontrolled and illicit drugs and those who supply as they will serve time in prison.

“Rhun Glyn sold Pink Teddy Bear ecstasy tablets to vulnerable young people at a party with no regard to their safety or the consequences.

“He was only concerned about making a profit.”

The father of the 16-year-old victim, who did not wish to be named, spoke out about the ordeal his family had been through.

“My son was out enjoying a youth disco with friends when a phone call from police almost turned my world upside down,” he said.

“The sheer panic and fear driving to Wrexham hospital that night are indescribable and to see him unconscious, pale, prostrate on a bed and unrecognisable is something I hope and pray no other family should go through.

“It disgusts me that adults took advantage and preyed on a young lad and supplied him tablets.

“They must now face the consequences.

“I’d also implore young people, please, please be careful and don’t take anything that is not prescribed.

“Thanks to the prompt medical attention of staff my son survived but the consequences could have been far, far worse.”

DC Rock added: “It’s important we reiterate the health warnings carried, particularly to young people thinking of taking this type of drug or other psychoactive substances as they’ve no idea where they were made, by whom or what they contain.

“They can be deadly and it’s simply not worth the risk.

“We will continue to work with our partners in health to highlight the dangers of drug abuse and under Operation Scorpion will actively target those concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.

“I welcome the sentence and hope it reassures the public that North Wales Police will take a robust stand against those who supply controlled drugs.”
