Drug dealer stopped in Salisbury jailed for three years
Gabi-Nicole Schiaua admitted to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs in court
A man from Southampton has been jailed for three years after admitting to supplying Class A drugs in Wiltshire.
Gabi-Nicole Schiaua, 35, of Portswood Avenue was stopped by patrol officers in Salisbury on 10th September this year, after they saw a Renault Clio being driven in a poor manner.
After stopping the vehicle, officers identified it as being involved in drug supply.
Schiaua attempted to hide items that were in his car, but a search later uncovered numerous items connected to drug supply, with the 35-year-old arrested at the scene and charged following an investigation.
He admitted to being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and was sentenced at Salisbury Crown Court.
Sgt Susan Malkinson said: “I am pleased that officers were able to intercept the supply of Class A drugs within the Salisbury area, and that the seriousness of this offending has been reflected in the custodial sentence handed to Schiaua.
"This is a great example of teamwork involving Salisbury Neighbourhood Team, South CID and other specialist departments."
