Drug dealer jailed after police seized heroin, cocaine and £200,000 from his Bristol home

A Bristol man has been jailed for 12 years after police seized heroin, cocaine, ketamine and £200,000 in cash from his home.

Christopher White was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court today (8 July) for three counts of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply, possession of a class B drug with intent to supply and possession of criminal property.

An intelligence-led warrant was carried out at White’s home in Chelvey Close in October 2021, where officers found 5kg of heroin in the boot of a car parked on his driveway.

They also discovered 5kg of ketamine in a garden outbuilding and a quantity of cocaine in the 41-year-old’s house, as well as ‘in excess’ of £200,000 in cash.

Investigating officer DC Joy Main said: “The illegal drugs and large amount of cash found in White’s possession was cast-iron evidence of his involvement in an organised drug supply network.

“This significant quantity of drugs were destined for the streets of Bristol.

“Illegal operations like the one White was involved with cause great harm to our communities, which is why we’ll always take positive action to disrupt and dismantle this highly corrosive criminality.”
