Ex-Policeman Convicted Of Conspiracy To Supply Heroin

I was browsing the Wales Online website the other day, when I spotted a familiar face: the ugly mug on the left.  I recognised him from my time in prison (bullied into pleading guilty to a crime I didn't commit) last year, as he spent some time in the I.T. group where I was.  He seemed reasonably intelligent (for a criminal), and appeared quite knowledgeable about computers, and usually had several books under his arm.  I remember that he had a loud Cockney-type accent, was quite foul-mouthed (like most criminals (and policemen!)), and I couldn't help overhearing him say that he was born in Southampton and his wife was (or had been) a social worker.  I think his cell was with those of other Armed Forces veterans.  I had no idea why he was in prison.  Anyway, imagine my surprise upon reading this article on Wales Online, to find that Steven Creasey (for that is his full name) is not only ex-Navy, but also a former Police Officer!  Creasey was apparently employed as a professional drug courier, working for a Liverpool-based organised crime gang.  On the day of his arrest - May 12th, 2022 - he had driven from Cardiff to Liverpool (where he stopped for a while), before continuing his journey to Scotland.  Scottish police - who had been tipped-off by their colleagues in South Wales - brought in sniffer dogs to search Creasey's car, where they found five kilograms of heroin and one kilogram of adulterant stashed in a secret compartment hidden under the passenger seat.  On September 3rd, 2024 - at Cardiff Crown Court - Steven Creasey was sentenced to twelve years and seven months in prison.  At sixty-seven years old, this of course means that - in the unlikely event that he should serve his full sentence - then Steven Creasey will be around eighty years old before he is released.  One thing to note regarding this case is that all the males involved got long custodial sentences, yet the one female got a six-month suspended sentence, indicating yet again the disgusting anti-male sexist bias in the current legal and judicial system, discussed by ex-feminist Erin Pizzey HERE.  Some commentators on the Liverpool Echo article about this case HERE mention the sexist bias, as well as the appalling behaviour of yet-another policeman, with such comments as [sic]: "The women always get a suspended , wonder if the copper will get his pension stopped anther waste of tax payers money"; "Once again the women get suspended sentences, it’s unbelievable bias and sexism"; "Good sentences the woman clearly should have got more!"; "More bent coppers what a surprise".
