Chelvey Man Caught with £200k and Tons of Drugs

Christopher White of Chelvey Close was slammed with charges at Bristol Crown Court. He faced three counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs—heroin and cocaine—plus possession with intent to supply class B drugs (ketamine), and possession of criminal property (a stash of cash).

Massive Haul Found During Warrant Raid

In October 2021, police swooped on White’s home after an intelligence tip-off. They uncovered a massive 5kg of heroin hidden in the boot of his car parked outside. Another 5kg of ketamine was found stashed in a garden outbuilding. Inside the house, officers found a haul of cocaine. On top of the drugs, cops seized over £200,000 in cash.

Drug Dealer’s Empire Busted for Bristol Streets

“The illegal drugs and large amount of cash found in White’s possession were cast-iron evidence of his involvement in an organised drug supply network,” said investigating officer DC Joy Main. “This large quantity of drugs was destined for Bristol’s streets. Illegal operations like the one in which White was involved cause significant harm to our communities, which is why we will always take proactive steps to disrupt and dismantle this highly corrosive criminality.”
