Jake Bell, 34, from Tadpole Garden Village in Swindon, has been sentenced to 61 months in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.
On September 24, 2024, Bell was arrested after acting suspiciously in an alleyway off Dryden Street. Officers found £300 in cash on him and later discovered a large holdall containing 42 bags of heroin and crack cocaine, worth an estimated £52,000.
Swindon police praised the operation, which successfully stopped a dangerous supply of drugs from hitting the streets. Authorities continue to encourage the public to report any suspicious drug-related activity.
