Michelle Deere. 53 from Bridgend has been sentenced to two years and three months in prison following her conviction for being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
The sentencing took place on Tuesday February 10,2026 at Cardiff Crown Court where Deere pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine, possession of cocaine and possession of amphetamines.
The case stems from a South Wales police investigation which started when officers from the organised crime unit were looking into drug supply coming from the Britannia Hotel in Pencoed. Following this investigation Deere was identified as potentially being involved in the supply of cocaine.
Officers then went to a house in Bridgend where Deere was located and arrested. Following a search of the property officers found multiple clear bags with white powder inside, including scales which had white powder on them.
PC Jonathan Jones said“Michelle Deere saw Class A drugs as a “get-rich-quick” scheme, only to find out that they were in fact even more effective as a “go-to-jail-quick” scheme.
“Drugs blight our communities and Michelle was playing his part in bringing that misery to the streets of Bridgend.
“She is deservedly embarking on a spell in prison”
