ST NEOTS DRUG DEALERS JAILED
TWO men have been sentenced to a total of 12 years in jail after several kilos of class A and B drugs were discovered at a property in St Neots.
William Chalkley, 25, of Kings Road, Eaton Socon and Bill Wigley, 27 of Buckden Hill, Buckden, admitted drugs offences at Huntingdon Crown Court on Thursday, December 3.
Chalkley and Wigley both pleaded guilty to production of amphetamine, conspiracy to supply amphetamine and conspiracy to supply cocaine.
Today, Chalkley was sentenced to seven years and Wigley was sentenced to five years at Huntingdon Crown Court.
On Monday, February 2, 2009 police assisted bailiffs to gain entry to a property in Brampton Gardens in order to serve an eviction notice.
At that time the tenant was in rent arrears but it was later discovered that he had sublet the property to someone else.
Once inside police discovered items including:
* A hydraulic press along with various steel moulds.
* Amphetamine with a street value of around £40,000
* Herbal cannabis with a street value of £130
* Cocaine with a street value of £1600
* Several thousand pills of Kamagra which is a copy version of Viagra
* 3 kilos of Benzocaine, a local anaesthetic sometimes used to cut cocaine
* 10 kilos of Boric acid which is sometimes used to cut cocaine
* A military smoke grenade
* A stun gun capable of delivering a shock of up to 800,000 volts (police tasers deliver 50,000 volts)
* A set of digital scales
* Mixing jugs and latex gloves
The investigation has taken many months with a lot of hard work by the officers involved and also significant forensic activity in order to prove some of the connections between the defendants and the drugs and equipment. This operation has without doubt disrupted a significant criminal enterprise.
