A Bournemouth man's been jailed for more than two years, for drug dealing in the town centre.

31-year-old Cary Alexander admitted being concerned in the supply of heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis.

When he was stopped by police in Gervis Place in February, he was found in possession of several wraps of the drugs, and over £400 in cash.

A search of his home address also saw officers recover additional heroin and a further £755 in cash.

Alexander's been given a 28 month sentence by Bournemouth Crown Court.

PC Stuart Grant, of the Bournemouth South Neighbourhood Policing Team, said:

“We recognise the impact the supply of drugs has on our communities and the concern it causes for residents. Therefore, we are committed to doing all we can to disrupt the activity of those involved in supplying drugs.

“Officers from the local neighbourhood policing team regularly carry out patrols in the Lower Gardens and will respond to reports of anyone seen to be acting suspiciously.

“We will continue to take action against drug dealers such as Cary Alexander and we would urge members of the public with information about drug related activity in their area to please report it to us at www.dorset.police.uk, via email 101@dorset.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101.”
