A 35-year-old man from Southampton has been sentenced to three years in prison after admitting involvement in the supply of Class A drugs in Wiltshire.
Gabi-Nicole Schiaua, of Portswood Avenue, was stopped by police officers in Salisbury on 10 September 2025 after driving a Renault Clio erratically. Officers identified the vehicle as being linked to drug supply activities.
During the stop, Schiaua attempted to conceal items in the car. A subsequent search revealed multiple items connected to Class A drug supply, leading to his immediate arrest. He later admitted being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and was sentenced at Salisbury Crown Court.
Sgt Susan Malkinson, commenting on the case, said: “I am pleased that officers were able to intercept the supply of Class A drugs within the Salisbury area, and that the seriousness of this offending has been reflected in the custodial sentence handed to Schiaua. This is a great example of teamwork involving Salisbury Neighbourhood Team, South CID and other specialist departments.”
The case highlights the ongoing efforts of local law enforcement to tackle drug-related crime and protect communities from the harm caused by illegal substances.
