Man jailed for being part of major drug supply operation

A Topsham man has been jailed for his part in a drug supply operation which led to police seizing one point eight million pounds worth of illegal substances.


43 year old Leon Butt has been sentenced to 9 years and 7 months, with the addition of a five year Serious Crime Prevention Order upon his release.

He was arrested as part of a police investigation by the Regional Crime Squad which began in Weston Super Mare and then moved to Exeter where a group of people were convicted last year for supplying amphetamines.

Five other people have also been charged with drug related offences and pleaded guilty - they'll be sentenced at Exeter Crown Court next month.
