A DROITWICH man has been jailed for over three years for his involvement in a county lines drug network across Worcester.
Jack Evans, 24, of Ploughman’s Way, Droitwich, was sentenced to three years and four months for possession with intent to supply heroin, being concerned in the supply of heroin and cocaine and possession of criminal property.
He was jailed at Worcesters Crown Court on Wednesday, January 31.
Evans was arrested on October 25, 2023 after South Worcestershire’s County Lines Team and a West Mercia Task Force executed a warrant at a property in the St. John’s area of Worcester.
He was found with Class A drugs, mobile phones, £740, weighing scales and a knife.
The warrant followed an extensive investigation into longstanding and persistent county lines drug dealing in Worcester.
Detective constable Alex Pullen, from South Worcestershire County Lines Drugs Team, said: “You will see from the body worn footage the lengths Evans went to try and evade arrest.
“If it wasn’t for the quick thinking of our officers, Evans could have been badly injured from jumping out of a third-floor window.
“We are pleased with the outcome in court yesterday. This sentencing follows extensive work from the team who are committed and determined to stop drug supply.
“The upset these people bring to our community is immeasurable and we shall continue to bring anybody involved in drug activity to justice.”
