A HEROIN and crack dealer from Rugby has been jailed for over three years.
Callum Davies, 19, of Marlborough Road, pleaded guilty to four counts of supplying class A drugs at Warwick Crown Court.
The court heard that a first arrest was made on March 23 when officers searched a flat in Deepmore Road, seizing quantities of heroin and crack cocaine, along with weighing scales, cash and a mobile phone.
Davies was interviewed at Leamington Police Station and released under investigation while enquires continued.
On March 31, officers from Rugby Proactive CID on patrol in the town spotted Davies acting suspiciously outside a property in Victoria Street.
A short time later he was seen on an electric scooter and made off when officers attempted to stop him. Officers witnessed him dispose of a package, later found to contain three wraps of Class A drugs.
Officers later returned to the house in Victoria Street and arrested Davies and a woman who was also at the scene. Bulk quantities of drugs and a mobile phone were seized.
Davies appeared in Court on July 2 and was given a custodial sentence of three years and two months, which included the activation of a previous suspended sentence.
Det Sgt Alan Gardner said: “The conviction and sentence of Davies has resulted from the persistence of Rugby Proactive CID, engagement with local authorities and intelligence from the community.
“Those involved in drugs offences in Rugby will be continually targeted by the police.
“The community can be reassured that information and intelligence is assessed daily to link and target those involved in criminality.
“We would urge anyone who has knowledge of or suspicions concerning the production or supply of drugs to report this by calling 101 or via the Warwickshire Police website. Information can also be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
