Swindon Dealer Busted for Selling Crack to Undercover Cop
Kenneth Cox, 45, from Urchfont Way, Swindon, has been found guilty of supplying crack cocaine. A jury at Swindon Crown Court convicted him on three counts after he sold Class A drugs to an undercover officer on three separate days in November 2019.

The bust was led by Wiltshire Police’s Serious Organised Crime Unit (SOCU). Their investigation revealed Cox was running a one-man crack cocaine operation in Swindon. Armed with solid intelligence, officers arrested him in January 2020.
Detective Slams Dealer’s Denial and Waste of Resources
“We welcome this result as it reflects Cox’s significant senior role in the operation and the serious nature of dealing Class A drugs,” said Detective Sergeant Phil Hines from SOCU.
“Cox denied involvement throughout the case and trial, showing arrogance that wasted public time and money. This could have been avoided if he’d just admitted guilt earlier.”
“Our message is clear: if you deal in illegal drugs, we will target you and your network. These drugs wreak havoc on communities beyond just the users.”
“We urge the public to report suspicious activity or drug dealing to help us take action.”
