A man's been jailed after admitting playing a major role in a supplying heroin and cocaine in Weston-Super-Mare.

24 year-old Connor Beer, from Henbury, ran a drugs line from January to March this year before being caught by police.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply. He was sentenced today at Bristol Crown Court to seven years in prison.

Investigating officer PC Leon Brueford said: “Cocaine, heroin and other illegal substances cause an immense amount misery to people, not only drug users but the local communities too.

“We hope this result reassures the people of Weston-super-Mare that tackling drug supply remains a priority of ours.

“Connor Beer’s conviction is the latest in a number of drug offences he has committed over recent years.

“His imprisonment hopefully will act as a warning to anyone involved in the supply of illegal drugs that they risk a significant custodial sentence as officers will continue to bring such offenders before the courts.”
