Their mugshots reveal the damage done to their faces by drug use when compared to fresh-faced social media shots.

The pair were pulled over in Port Road, Barry, South Wales, shortly after 11pm on Sunday May 31.

Following a search, both were arrested and charged with supplying heroin and crack cocaine.

Their mugshots show how dramatically different their faces appear after years of drug abuse.

The pair pleaded guilty to their offences at Cardiff Crown Court.

Watkins, from Barry, was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison, while Heywood, also from Barry, was handed a sentence of five years and seven months.

Detective Inspector Sarah Trigg, of Barry organised crime unit, said: "The sentences handed down to these two people should serve as a
warning to others who peddle drugs in our communities that we remain
vigilant, will make arrests, and will bring people before the courts.

"There is no place for those who bring misery to our communities and
their actions will not be tolerated."
