Drug Dealer Jailed for Four Years in Bristol Crackdown

A South Bristol man has been locked up for running a drug empire from his Knowle West home. Scott Collins, 33, was sentenced to four years in prison on Thursday, January 29.

Police Snuff Out South Bristol Drug Line

Police launched a full-scale investigation after intercepting text messages hawking drugs across South Bristol. The probe led officers to Collins, who was arrested in October 2025.

During a dramatic raid, cops found a stash of crack cocaine, heroin, weapons, and drug paraphernalia – all evidence of his illegal trade.

Collins Charged With Multiple Drug and Weapon Offences

Collins faced a barrage of serious charges, including:

  • Supplying heroin and crack cocaine
  • Possession with intent to supply both heroin and crack cocaine
  • Two counts of possession of offensive weapons

He pleaded guilty in October and was sentenced this week at Bristol Crown Court.

Justice served as Collins now faces years behind bars for his role in flooding South Bristol with dangerous drugs.
