Droitwich County Lines drug dealer jailed
He's been sentenced to over three years behind bars.
A man from Droitwich has been jailed for his involvement in County Lines drug dealing.
24-year-old Jack Evans, of Ploughman's Lane, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years and four months for possession with intent to supply heroin, being concerned in the supply of heroin and cocaine and possession of criminal property.
On Wednesday 25 October last year, officers from the South Worcestershire County Lines Team and our Task Force executed a warrant at a property in the St. John’s area of Worcester. Evans was found inside along with Class A drugs, mobile phones, £740, scales and a knife.
The warrant followed an extensive investigation into longstanding and persistent County Lines drug dealing operating in Worcester. A county line is the telephone number, or ‘deal line’, used to run the organised drug-dealing network - often from large metropolitan cities into smaller county towns and cities.
Detective Constable Alex Pullen, from South Worcestershire County Lines Drugs Team, said: “You will see from the body worn footage the lengths Evans went to try and evade arrest. If it wasn’t for the quick thinking of our officers, Evans could have been badly injured from jumping out of a third-floor window.
“We are pleased with the outcome in court yesterday. This sentencing follows extensive work from the team who are committed and determined to stop drug supply. The upset these people bring to our community is immeasurable and we shall continue to bring anybody involved in drug activity to justice”.
