Drug gang members imprisoned for a total of nine years
Warwickshire Police caught the pair after spotting a suspected drug deal happening in a Leamington park
Two members of a drug gang have been given combined nine year jail terms.
Plain clothes police stopped a suspected drug deal at Victoria Park in Leamington on February the 3rd and found information on the suspect's phone that led them to detain Mitchell Chantler and Cain McCann who were trafficking illegal substances from Coventry to the town.
A handwritten list of customers was found when the pair were arrested.
Appearing at Warwick Crown Court on Friday (22nd August), 24 year old Chantler from Moor Street in Coventry was jailed for five years and seven months, having pled guilty to supplying crack cocaine.
26 year old McCann from Sowe Close in Bulkington received a three year, three month jail term after he pled guilty to supplying crack cocaine and heroin, as well as being in possession of criminal property.
Detective Inspector Pete Sherwood, from the Force Serious and Organised Crime Team, said, "Like many people involved in county lines, Chantler and McCann were using other people to do their dirty work for them. The evidence from our investigation left them with little choice but to plead guilty and they will both now spend time behind bars."
