Trio of heroin and crack cocaine dealers jailed for more than a decade combined

Paul Fulleylove, Gemma Satchell and Ryan Turner were 'intent on distributing harmful drugs'

A trio who were "intent on distributing harmful drugs" have been jailed for more than 10 years combined. Paul Fulleylove, Gemma Satchell and Ryan Turner were put behind bars for their roles in supplying crack cocaine and heroin.

Staffordshire Police stopped a blue Vauxhall Astra on Ninefoot Lane, Tamworth, on April 25 last year and found a small number of wraps containing crack cocaine and heroin, plus mobile phones. Cannabis and scales were then found during a search of a property in Tamworth, all of which were seized.

Officers then stopped a woman on Brookside Way, Tamworth, on September 5 last year, and seized a mobile phone. A search of a flat in Tamworth and a property in Birmingham resulted in a man being arrested after wraps of class A drugs, scales, a mobile phone and £2,760 in counterfeit cash were found.

Following the sentencing, Detective Sergeant Jon Bradbury, who dealt with the case, said: “I am pleased that all three admitted their offending and we’ve been able to jail three dealers who were intent on distributing harmful drugs within our communities. Officers across the force are committed to proactively targeting drug supply and will continue to act on intelligence leads and reports from the public to bring these people to justice. I hope this serves as a message that those responsible for drug distribution in Staffordshire will be targeted and dealt with as robustly as possible."
