£21k LSD haul lands dealer with jail term
A MAIDSTONE man has been jailed for four years after more than 12,000 LSD deals were seized from his car and home. Jack Supple (31) of Upper
Street, Leeds, had taken ketamine before getting behind the wheel of his car and colliding into a bar- rier on the M20. He was arrested and officers re-
covered perforated cardboard sheets containing LSD deals on the sun visor and inside a sports bag on the back seat. A bag of ketamine was also found in the front passenger footwell.
A Kent Police spokesman said:
“Patrols attended the coastbound carriageway of the motorway near the junction for Blue Bell Hill, following a report that a ve- hicle had been driven erratically before coming to a halt. “Our officers found the van sta- tionary against a barrier on the
hard shoulder and the driver, Jack Supple, admitted he had taken ketamine.
“His home address was also searched and more LSD deals were found, along with around
£2,000 in cash hidden inside a bot- tle.”
Supple was later charged with possession of class A drugs with intent to supply, possession of class B drugs and acquiring crim- inal property, namely the seized cash. He pleaded guilty at Maidstone Crown Court and was sentenced to four years and six months in prison. Investigating officer, Detective Constable Tony Hatcher said: “In total, our officers seized 12,342 LSD deals with an estimated street value of almost £21,000. “This is a significant quantity of
class A drugs and it is only right Supple is now serving a prison sentence.
“It is wrong that drug dealers
profit from their criminality and we will be seeking confiscation of the cash seized on the search of his home address.”
