Police raid drug dealer's address and arrest 21-year-old man

A man who supplied Class A drugs across Swindon has been jailed. Oskar Krzeszewski, 21, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to supplying crack cocaine and heroin, two counts of possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin, two counts of possessing a bladed article in a public place and one count of possessing criminal property. In a hearing at Swindon Crown Court on Friday, he was jailed for 28 months. On April 25, officers executed a proactive stop of Krzeszewski’s vehicle, during which he was found in possession of an iPhone, two kitchen knives, two razor blades, a bag containing around 50 wraps of class A drugs, designed clothes and roughly £300 in cash. He was bailed to allow an investigation to take place, which found that Krzeszewski was running a Class A drugs line in the days leading up to his arrest. On May 17, officers received intelligence that a new Class A drug line had been set up, with evidence showing it had been established on April 26, the day after Krzeszewski’s arrest. On June 24, officers executed a drugs warrant at a property in May Close, Swindon, where Krzeszewski was thought to be residing. He was arrested, and a search of the property located the relevant sim card for the line. £5,500 in cash was also found, plus a number of individual wraps of crack cocaine and heroin, prepared for street deals. Larger bulk bags of suspected crack cocaine and heroin were also found, plus scales and plastic wrapping used to prepare the drugs. Krzeszewski was subsequently charged and remanded into custody. Investigating officer PC Aidan Hillier of the Integrated Gangs Team said: “Krzeszewski played a significant role in supplying cocaine and heroin across Swindon and I am pleased he has been jailed for his actions. “Following his initial arrest in April, he was brazen enough to set up a brand new line selling cocaine and heroin the following day. “Officers swiftly identified this new line and executed a warrant at the property Krzeszewski was thought to be staying, and he was located with a significant amount of cash in his pockets. “We know the serious harm that drugs cause in our communities – from the vulnerable users to their wider families and friends, and the neighbourhood-related crime like antisocial behaviour and shoplifting. “There’s no place for Class A drugs in Wiltshire and we will continue to target and put before the courts those dealing them.”
