Paulton man jailed after more than 4kg of drugs seized
Police carried out warrants in Peasedown St John and Paulton at addresses linked to 41-year-old Gary Browne
A 41-year-old man from Paulton has been jailed for more than five years after over 4Kg of drugs were seized last year.
A significant amount of heroin, cocaine, and ketamine along with £20,000 in cash were recovered in October 2025 when warrants were carried out in Peasedown St John and Paulton at addresses linked to Gary Browne.
More than 2.4kg of class A drugs were recovered after the warrants, with officers finding 877g of heroin and 1.6kg of cocaine. A further 1.6kg of ketamine was also seized.
Browne was arrested and charged with possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs, as well as possession of criminal property.
He pleaded guilty to each offence and was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison at Bristol Crown Court on 16th January.
PC Jed Kingdon said:
“The supply of illegal drugs causes significant harm to our communities, with the most vulnerable members of society particularly targeted.
“We are committed to identifying those behind their supply and to making sure we bring them before the courts to face justice.
“If you suspect drugs are being sold in your community, please let us know so we can take action.”
