Two men have been sentenced for supplying cocaine and heroin in Swindon.

28 year-old Michael Jordan Cook of no fixed abode, was sentenced to five years and 11 months imprisonment at Swindon Crown Court yesterday - while Owen Rhys Wilson, who's 20, and of Caulfield Road in Gorse Hill, received a 16-month suspended sentence.

They were arrested back in October 2022 at Baileys Farmhouse in Swindon .

Acting Police Sergeant Hesketh of the Local Police Tasking Team said: “This investigation was a direct result of partnership working with Swindon Borough Council housing department, and I would like to thank their staff members for acting swiftly and reporting their concerns around suspected drug activity taking place.

“I welcome the prison sentence given to Cook by the courts as he played a significant role within the drug dealing operation.

“This sentence should demonstrate that Wiltshire Police will not tolerate drug dealing in Swindon and we are committed to dealing with these individuals robustly.”
