M5 DRUGS SWOOP NETS COCAINE CREW π
The feds pulled over a whip on the M5, and it was one hell of a find, bruv. Stephen Barrow, 42, from Bardon Close in Bolton, was bangin' with 22.62g of cannabis and a stash of coke, intent to supply. He copped a guilty plea and got three years, suspended for three more. Plus, heβs on the hook for drug rehab and 180 hours of unpaid work.
The job didnβt stop there. Derek Stephen-Pinnington, 48, from Bridge Road in St Austell, was also rumbled. He admitted to being involved in cocaine supply between June 2023 and 2023. The court handed him three years, suspended for three, along with mental health treatment and 100 hours of unpaid work.
Itβs a proper takedown, fam. But the M5 ainβt the only place where the heat was on. Michael Deverport, 40, from Chestnut Avenue in Exeter, got nabbed in Cullompton with cocaine and driving while disqualified. He copped to it and got 30 months, suspended for three years, drug rehab, and 180 hours of unpaid work.
Looks like the old billβs gettinβ serious about cleanin' up the ends. Stay tuned for more updates on this mad ting.
