Coran Davies, 23, sent the picture to his friend, whose phone had been confiscated due to a separate police investigation, from a dentist's chair in Turkey after getting new teeth, alongside messages about supplying cocaine and cannabis.

He was identified using facial recognition and arrested in March from his car, alongside passenger Dale Howell, 25, both from Porth, Rhondda Cynon Taf.

At Merthyr Magistrates Court on 9 March, Davies pleaded guilty to multiple offences, including cannabis supply, driving without insurance or a licence, possessing criminal property, and intent to supply cocaine.
