A Doncaster drug dealer has been locked up for over six years after cops found a holdall packed with £40,000 worth of drugs during a routine patrol.
Operation Fortify Snaps Up Dealer and Accomplice
Officers from Doncaster’s Operation Fortify were on patrol in Hyde Park when they spotted 21-year-old Elliot Bucknall carrying a bag towards a black Land Rover on Somerset Road. Bucknall handed the holdall to an accomplice and tried to slip away, but police quickly called for backup.

The accomplice was stopped and arrested. Inside the bag, officers found roughly £40,000 of cocaine, £3,000 of heroin, and nearly £5,000 in cash.
Bucknall Caught and Convicted
Bucknall initially made a run for it but was soon caught. Forensic evidence tied him to the drugs and the holdall. Facing the mountain of proof, he pleaded guilty to multiple drug offences.
