Heroin dealer jailed

Bryant admitted two charges of dealing heroin

A Shropshire man has been jailed for three-and-a-half years for supplying heroin to undercover police officers.

Paul Bryant, 41, of Wingfield Gardens in Shrewsbury, was arrested as part of Operation North, an initiative to identify drug dealers in Shrewsbury and Oswestry.

On Wednesday, Bryant admitted two charges at Shrewsbury Crown Court relating to the supply of heroin to police and another person.

Kevin Hereward, 35, from Lime Grove in Oswestry received a similar sentence on Tuesday, also for dealing heroin.

The court heard how officers posing as drug users obtained heroin from him by calling a mobile phone.
