A BRECON man has begun a six month jail sentence after he posted drugs to a vulnerable 15-year-old girl.

Nigel Brian Bowditch, who is 31, posted cannabis to the girl, who was in foster care, after befriending her.

Brecon magistrates jailed Bowditch, who admitted a charge of supplying 0.9 grammes of the class B drug, for six months.

The court heard Bowditch, of Cradoc Close, hadn't sought payment for the drugs and the offence was described as a 'misguided' attempt to help the girl.
