Child left alone in flat with axe and drugs 'in easy reach' as dealer sold cannabis
A young child was abandoned in a flat stashed with weapons, drugs and dogs when the man who was meant to be looking after her was out on the street selling cannabis.
Police proceeded to find the primary school-aged child inside playing on a mobile phone in the living room. Three dogs - a bullmastiff and two bulldogs - had only been kept away by a "thin, low metal partition", with one being noted as "particularly large" and "agitated and barking". The defendant said he was staying with his brother at the time but received a phone call from a neighbour telling him there were people in his flat which he had lived in for around three years. Welch then went there with the child and dogs, discovering that people had let themselves in with a key they had previously taken.
"He became a cannabis user very early in his life, and that sadly continued for a considerable length of time. He still uses cannabis, perhaps on a far too regular basis at this point in life." "That ultimately was his downfall and put him in the position he finds himself in today. Cocaine and drugs cost money, and he found himself in debt and became the puppet of the suppliers.
