Somerset man jailed after cannabis worth £28,500 found at Pilton home
Andrew John Westwick's facing 27 months behind bars
A Somerset man who admitted supplying and production of drugs is facing 27 months in prison.
Andrew John Westwick - who's 59 and from East Town in Pilton - was found with more than £28,500 worth of cannabis in his home and car.
The 6kg of the Class B drug that was discovered last December included plants and resin.
He was jailed last Wednesday (3 September) at Bristol Crown Court after pleading guilty to several charges.
DCI Ben Lavender said, "Westwick was at the property when officers arrived, and four packages were found in his car that were ready to be posted, which contained cannabis flowering head and resin. He was, therefore, arrested for drugs supply offences
"We are committed to taking action to protect people, particularly from the harm drug supply creates, because the misery it can cause people and communities is clear.
"If you’re buying illegal drugs, you’re not only funding organised crime groups, you are ignoring the exploitation involved in their cultivation, production and supply."
