A 22-year-old man from Bedminster was locked up after police found a stash of crack cocaine and heroin tucked away in his underwear during a Swindon stop-and-search.
Drug Dealer Busted After Failing ID Trick
Jaredel Comrie, of St Johns Lane, previously admitted to possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin, plus cannabis possession and breaching a criminal behaviour order from Bristol Crown Court.
He was sentenced to five years and six months in prison at Swindon Crown Court on November 25.
Police Snatch Dealer With 46 Wraps Hidden in Pants
Comrie was stopped on October 11 in Beckhampton Street, Swindon. He gave two fake names — one belonging to a wanted Bristol man — raising suspicions.
Initial searches turned up cannabis and cash. But it was during a further search at the police station that officers uncovered a huge haul of cocaine and heroin hidden in his underwear along with his phone.
Phone Reveals Drug Supply Network
Messages found on Comrie’s phone exposed his role in arranging the drug supply chain around Swindon.
PC Lauren Vincent said: “Comrie had 46 wraps of class A drugs hidden in his pants and a phone he used to facilitate supply in Swindon. We’re glad to have busted this chain and prevented these dangerous drugs reaching vulnerable users.”
