Two jailed after police found drugs and cash during raids in Dorking
Officers raided addresses in Dorking and found large amounts of cannabis and cocaine, over £3,000 in cash, and messages showing drugs were being sold across Mole Valley
Two men have been sentenced following a police investigation into the supply of class A and class B drugs in Mole Valley.
They were sentenced at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday 24 June. Officers had carried out multiple raids at addresses in Dorking in 2021 and 2024.
Jordan Wallace, 25, from Dorking, was sentenced to five years and one month in prison.
A second man, 30-year-old Liam Bailey, also from Dorking, received a two-year suspended sentence.
Wallace was found guilty of being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis, possession with intent to supply both drugs, and possessing criminal property. He was also convicted of conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis between September and December 2024, when police identified a mobile phone being used as a drugs line in the town.
On 30 July 2021, officers raided a privately rented property in Dorking and found Wallace in an upstairs bedroom. They found £3,000 in cash, cannabis and cocaine with a street value of £6,165, and designer clothes and footwear. Drug packaging and other paraphernalia were also seized.
Wallace was arrested at the scene. Bailey was linked to the address after officers found identification in his name. He was later arrested on 4 August 2021 after being seen in a recreation ground in Dorking.
Police carried out further warrants in December 2024 and found Wallace trying to flush white powder down a toilet. He was arrested again.
Messages found on his phone showed bulk texts offering cannabis for sale. Other messages showed Wallace discussing the sale of cocaine and claiming to be earning £3,000 a week.
Bailey pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis, possession with intent to supply cannabis, and possessing criminal property between 2020 and 2022.
Detective Constable Elliott Hartley said: “Wallace was a key player in the drugs supply network operating across Mole Valley and the fact that he is now off our streets and behind bars shows our commitment to tackling those who bring drugs into our local communities.
“Both men are part of a system which preys on the vulnerable and brings nothing but misery to our communities. We are working hard to identify who they are and disrupt their networks and I hope this case shows that it doesn’t matter how long it takes – we will find you.
“If you have information about someone you suspect is involved in the supply of illegal drugs or are concerned about someone vulnerable to exploitation by these gangs please contact us.”
