Main article content
A man has been jailed for his involvement in the supply of drugs.
Demehl Thomas, 34, was found guilty following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court, and was jailed for six and a half years on 18 July.
Thomas, of Villa Court, Telford, who is also known as a local grime artist by the name of 'Remtrex' was arrested in April 2019 following investigative work from our ROCU (Regional organised crime unit) into the supply of drugs from Birmingham into Huddersfield.
He was then charged for conspiring to supply Class A drugs.
Thomas was convicted after half a kilo of cocaine and over £14,000 of cash was recovered.
Detective Chief Inspector Pete Cooke, from our ROCU team, said: "This was a significant conviction and contributes to our wider investigation into the drugs line, of which four people have now been jailed.
"Drugs not only ruin lives but lead to further crime so this was a significant discovery, and our work is ongoing to bring down drug supply chains."
