Dorset couple jailed for drug supply and money laundering
Grant Putman and Brooke Marshall sentenced following SWROCU investigation
A man and woman from Dorset have been sentenced for drug supply and money laundering offences after a thorough investigation by the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU).
Grant Putman, 33, and Brooke Marshall, 35, were arrested after SWROCU officers executed a warrant at their home in Old Manor Close, Wimborne, in August 2025.
Police found white powder scattered on the kitchen worktop, a kilo block of cocaine in a bucket, bags of cannabis, hundreds of illegal vapes, and various other drugs stored throughout the house.
Officers seized one-and-a-half kilos of cocaine, 400 grams of heroin, 500 grams of ketamine, two kilos of cannabis, and roughly £20,000 in cash, alongside a knuckleduster.
Both Putman and Marshall pleaded guilty to charges of supplying cocaine, ketamine, and cannabis. Furthermore, Putman admitted possession with intent to supply heroin and possession of an offensive weapon, while Marshall confessed to money laundering.
On 16th April 2026, Putman was sentenced to six years and six months in prison, while Marshall received three years and eight months at Bournemouth Crown Court.
Detective Sergeant Stuart Cumine of SWROCU said, “With support from our colleagues in Dorset Police, we acted upon intelligence to apprehend drug operations from this residential address in Wimborne. The strength of the evidence led both Putman and Marshall to plead guilty, disrupting the supply of these harmful drugs."
