Five men will be starting their jail sentences after being found guilty of supplying drugs in Bristol.

The men - aged between 27 and 33 - were caught after police stopped a car in Lockleaze and seized almost a kilo of cocaine on 7th April.

They and a sixth man had all previously admitted a charge of being concerned in the supply of cocaine between November 2023 and April 2024.

At Bristol Crown Court, the five men were sentenced to a collective term of more than 27 years for their involvement.

The sentences:

  • Cartell Williams, 28, of no fixed abode, was jailed for eight years
  • Aaron Thomas Haskins, 33, of Hartliffe, Bristol, was handed a seven-year prison term
  • Ashley Wood, 27, of Bedminster, Bristol, was jailed for six years
  • Ajani Smith, 28, of Lockleaze, Bristol, sentenced to four years in prison
  • Luke Anthony Gregory, 30, of Hartcliffe, Bristol was jailed for 28 months
  • Adrian Williams, 59, of Hartcliffe, Bristol, was handed a 19-month jail term which was suspended for two years

Avon and Somerset Police are now appealing for more people to come forward if "someone you know is affected by drug misuse".

They added "Your information is very important to help to target drug dealers and tackle the associated crime and disorder which can blight our communities."
