Class A dealer put behind bars following investigation

We have put another Class A drug dealer behind bars following an investigation by our Serious Organised Crime Unit.

Kyle Taylor, 30, of Sydenham Road, Lewisham, London appeared at Swindon Crown Court last Friday (10/04) after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin between November and March.

He was jailed for four years, while £1,220 found on his person during his arrests has been forfeited.

On March 4^th this year, officers stopped a vehicle in Swindon, in which Taylor was the front passenger.

He was found to have in his possession a mobile phone linked to crack cocaine and heroin supply in Swindon, known as the ‘CJ’ drugs line, despite being on police bail having previously been arrested for similar offences.

Officers established that Taylor, who lived in London, would regularly travel to Swindon to facilitate the supply of Class A drugs, and would target addresses in Swindon town centre which he could use to store drugs, putting others at risk.

He was subsequently charged and remanded into custody.

DC Jared Yalden from our Serious Organised Crime Unit said: “Class A drugs cause significant harm both to users and wider society and we are fully committed to disrupting the supply networks and keeping our communities safe.

“Information from the public is absolutely vital in helping us achieve this.

“If you have any information about drug-related activity, please report it in confidence by calling 101 or making a report on our website.
