Devizes man may be jailed for ‘significant role’ in drug dealing enterprise

A Devizes man may be jailed for his ‘significant role’ in a drug dealing enterprise.

Luke Jackson pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis and money laundering when he appeared at Salisbury Magistrates’ Court on Friday (13 January).

Prosecutor David Foster said the 30-year-old, of Mattock Close, dealt the Class B drug directly to users on the streets and “gained significant financial advantage” between June 2019 and June 2022.

He said that police found cannabis worth £300 in his possession when he was stop-searched. An investigation was launched and officers later uncovered £2,400-worth at his home address.

When financial investigators checked bank accounts linked to Jackson, they found £11,000 coming into a bank account – money the Crown Prosecution Service seek to recover.

The court heard that the defendant has one previous conviction for driving whilst unfit through drugs.

The case was sent to Swindon Crown Court for sentence on 10 February. An all-options pre-sentence report was ordered.
