Sevenoaks Drug Dealer Busted Over ‘Flipz Line’ Texts
Kent Police have nailed a London-based drug dealer flooding Sevenoaks with texts offering heroin and crack cocaine. The dealer, Bradley Wynter, ran a slick operation from February to May 2021, using a burner phone dubbed the ‘Flipz line’ to target users in the town.
From London to Sevenoaks in Hire Cars
Wynter regularly travelled from London to Sevenoaks in hire cars to push his drugs. Police discovered he owned the mysterious phone sending the marketing blasts. On 12 May 2021, officers raided Wynter’s home in Forest Hill, Greater London.
Inside, they seized the ‘Flipz line’ phone plus nearly five and a half grams of crack cocaine and heroin worth around £500 on the streets.
Dealer Jailed for Over Four Years
Wynter, 32, was slapped with charges including supplying crack cocaine and heroin, plus possessing them with intent to supply. He pleaded guilty at Maidstone Crown Court and was sentenced to four years and four months in jail on 17 June.
“He thought he could remain anonymous by using a phone not registered in his name and hire cars rented by a third party,” said PC Samantha Smith. “He was overconfident and our investigation tracked him down to a London address.”
“He made profits off some of the most vulnerable in our community. A prison sentence is the right punishment.”
