A 22-year-old drug dealer from Bedminster was busted after cops found a stash of crack cocaine and heroin hidden in his underwear during a stop-and-search in Swindon.
Drug Dealer Caught After Fake ID Fail
Jaredel Comrie, from St Johns Lane, had already admitted to possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin. He also pleaded guilty to cannabis possession and breaching a criminal behaviour order, the court heard.
On November 25, Swindon Crown Court sentenced him to five years and six months behind bars.
Cop Shocker: 46 Wraps Hidden in Pants
Comrie was stopped on October 11 in Beckhampton Street, Swindon. He tried to dodge arrest by giving two fake names, including one belonging to a wanted man from Bristol, which immediately raised red flags.
An initial search found cannabis and cash, but the full haul was only uncovered later at the police station. Officers discovered 46 wraps of class A drugs—crack cocaine and heroin—secreted in his underwear, along with his phone.
Phone Unmasks Swindon Drug Network
The messages on Comrie’s phone revealed his key role in running the drug supply chain around Swindon.
PC Lauren Vincent said: “Comrie had 46 wraps of class A drugs hidden in his pants and a phone he used to facilitate supply in Swindon. We’re glad to have busted this chain and prevented these dangerous drugs reaching vulnerable users.”
