Police swooped on Dadey’s Bath Road home on January 24. Officers found him asleep with a phone hidden under his pillow. This device was blasting bulk text messages to vulnerable users, pushing crack cocaine and heroin across Swindon.

Detective’s Warning: No Safe Haven for Drug Dealers

“Dadey controlled a drugs line supplying crack cocaine and heroin to vulnerable users in Swindon. The phone hidden in his bed showed clear evidence of drug dealing. He earned thousands and lived a lifestyle beyond his means,” said Detective Sergeant Joe Shanklin.

“I’m glad he’s now locked up for four years. This sends a clear message: anyone trying to run drugs in Swindon will be caught. We will keep hunting offenders like Dadey.”
