Drug dealer sentenced after officers caught him with 211 wraps of class A drugs

A man has been sentenced to three years and three months’ imprisonment for dealing class A drugs in Surrey.

On 15 September last year, officers from the Western Proactive Team were on patrol in Camberley when they spotted a car which was suspected of being involved in drug dealing in Frimley a couple of days prior.

Officers followed the car to a small car park near York Road where they parked directly behind the car, intending to speak to the driver. In an unsuccessful bid to escape the officers, the car reversed and rammed into the police car, causing extensive damage.

In the process of getting the driver out of the car, officers saw a plastic-wrapped package fall to the ground from the driver’s seat, which was later found to contain numerous wraps of cocaine and heroin. The suspect then spat out a number of wraps of the same drugs from his mouth onto the floor. He was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

During a further search in custody, officers found more wraps of cocaine and heroin concealed in his clothes. In total, he was found to be in possession of 90 wraps of heroin (10.4g) and 121 wraps of cocaine (11.1g).

Kyle Mitchell, 29, of no fixed address, was sentenced at Guildford Crown Court yesterday (3 February) after pleading guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and criminal damage.

Police Constable Henry Bowles who investigated the case, said: “To have put a class A drug dealer behind bars and to have taken a large quantity of drugs off of the streets of Surrey is a great result which came from excellent proactive police work.

“Drug dealing has no place in our county and I would encourage anyone who suspects drug dealing in their community to please report information to us so we can continue to see results like this one.”
