A DRUG dealer has been sentenced to prison after being caught supplying cocaine in Rugby.
Ross Lloyd, 30, of Stoke Golding, was sentenced at Warwick Crown Court to five years and one month in prison after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.
Lloyd was arrested and charged in July 2021 after officers raided a flat in Abbey Street and found evidence that he was supplying a Rugby street dealer with cocaine.
Det Con Matthew Rapkins from Rugby Proactive CID said: “Cocaine has become a huge problem in society up and down the country. Lloyd is someone who looks to profit on people’s misery, and was involved in supplying this drug in Rugby.
“I am pleased this sentence recognises the harm caused by this drug. We will continue to work tirelessly to bring people to justice who sell Class A drugs in our town.”
A 36-year-old man from Rugby was also convicted in connection with the case and was given a sentence of one year and 10 months, suspended for two years.
