Milton Keynes drug dealer is jailed after sending 33,000 messages advertising heroin and crack cocaine.

Ugochukwo Nwankwo, 27, of Bradwell in Milton Keynes, has been jailed for three years and ten months at Aylesbury Crown Court after police tied him to four drugs line numbers that sent more than 33,000 messages between March and June, most of them advertising crack cocaine and heroin. According to Thames Valley Police, he played a key role in a county lines operation distributing hard drugs throughout the town.

Officers also seized 450 cannabis vapes worth £18,000 on the street, plus 163 grams of cannabis.

Nwankwo pleaded guilty at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court to five offences, including two class A supply charges.

Disqualified from driving at the time, he was also convicted of getting behind the wheel regardless.
