A couple transported 1kg of cocaine from Liverpool to south Wales because they thought they could get away with it, a judge said.
Dad-of-three Corey Casagrande, 34, and Jemma Connor, 27, were caught red-handed as they were driving along the A449.
The pair were arrested after police performed a tactical stop and found the huge haul of drugs.
In the footwell of the vehicle was a stash of the Class A drug with a wholesale value of around £40,000 – and a street value of many times that.
