Man jailed for drugs offences in Bournemouth
A man has been jailed for drugs offences after he was stopped by officers in Bournemouth town centre.
Cary Alexander, aged 31 and of Bournemouth, was jailed for 28 months at Bournemouth Crown Court on Friday 19 April 2024 after admitting to offences of being concerned in the supply of heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis.
On Thursday 17 February 2022, Alexander was detained by officers after behaving suspiciously in Gervis Place. Following a search, he was found in possession of several wraps of cannabis and subsequently arrested.
Alexander was later conveyed to custody where, following a second search, he was found in possession of several wraps of heroin and crack cocaine and over £400 in cash.
Officers conducted a search of Alexander’s home address, where they recovered additional heroin and a further £755 in cash.
He was subsequently charged.
Police Constable Stuart Grant, of the Bournemouth South Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “We recognise the impact the supply of drugs has on our communities and the concern it causes for residents. Therefore, we are committed to doing all we can to disrupt the activity of those involved in supplying drugs.
“Officers from the local neighbourhood policing team regularly carry out patrols in the Lower Gardens and will respond to reports of anyone seen to be acting suspiciously.
“We will continue to take action against drug dealers such as Cary Alexander and we would urge members of the public with information about drug related activity in their area to please report it to us at www.dorset.police.uk, via email 101@dorset.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101.”
