Two young drug dealers were praised by a judge for the high standard of grammar in their text messages to customers.

Teenager Luke Rance bought cannabis in bulk and sold it to 21-year-old Brandon Kerrison for him to deal to people in Gower, South Wales, a court heard.

Judge David Hale, who sentenced the pair on Wednesday, noted that the "grammar and punctuation" used in their drug-dealing text messages was of a much better standard than usually seen.

Swansea Crown Court heard that officers were on foot patrol in the evening on December 17 last year in Pennard when they passed the village library.

Tom Scapens, prosecuting, said the officers entered the car park and could smell cannabis. Nearby they saw Rance and Kerrison.

Kerrison, who was smoking a cannabis cigarette, fled but returned a short time later while Rance stayed in the car park with the officers.
