Drug supply networks dismantled and four dealers sentenced in Medway
Court hands down prison terms following Kent Police investigations
Two county line drug supply networks in Medway have been dismantled, and four drug dealers have been sentenced following thorough investigations by Kent Police.
The initial investigation began in 2023 when officers attending a property in Rochester discovered drugs and drug-related paraphernalia, leading to the arrest of Georgie Wiltshire, Hayden Reed, and Jamie Cordell.
During the search, officers uncovered crack cocaine, heroin, a large amount of cash, deal bags, tick lists, and digital scales. In total, they found 125 wraps of drugs estimated to have a street value of £6,000.
The analysis of seized phones revealed that thousands of bulk messages had been sent by the defendants to drug users in Medway for the Alfie line.
By June 2025, while Cordell awaited trial, he continued his involvement with the Alfie line alongside Jamal Robinson. This led to further action, resulting in Cordell’s arrest in Birmingham, from where he was returned to Kent for additional charges.
Robinson faced arrest in Chatham after a failed stop, with officers linking him to the current Alfie line phone.
All four men were charged with supplying class A drugs. Wiltshire and Cordell were further charged with supplying class B drugs, specifically cannabis. Both Cordell and Reed faced additional charges for acquiring criminal property.
At Maidstone Crown Court on 15th April 2026, the following sentences were issued:
Jamie Cordell, 20, from Vernon Road, Birmingham, received a sentence of four years and three months behind bars.
Jamal Robinson, 25, also from Vernon Road, Birmingham, was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison.
Hayden Reed, 23, from Kershaw Grove, Gillingham received a two-year sentence suspended for two years.
Georgie Wiltshire, 21, from Puffin Road, Rochester, was jailed for two years and seven months.
Detective Constable James Lakin commented: “The offences formed part of an organised operation supplying cocaine and heroin within Medway. Mobile phones were used to promote the drugs on offer and arrange deliveries, but this activity helped us build a clear picture of their offending.”
Lakin underscored the case’s implications: "This case serves as a reminder that those who choose to profit from supplying drugs in our towns can expect sustained and determined action, with offenders identified and brought before the courts."
