Officers found two wraps of heroin totalling 6.75g and 409g of cannabis. The cannabis was estimated to have a potential street value of £4,090.
Lloyd appeared in Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday, June 5, and was was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin and cannabis and using, possessing, or acquiring criminal property.
Detective inspector Sarah Trigg from South Wales Police said: “Drugs continue to blight our local communities and we want to make it clear that the use and supply of controlled drugs in Bridgend will not be tolerated. We will stop, search and disrupt those who do deal drugs at every given opportunity.
“This result is thanks to the efforts of officers from Bridgend’s neighbourhood policing team and Bridgend’s organised crime unit.
“We will act on all information received by members of the community and I would urge those with concerns about drug supply to call us on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
