A 21-year-old homeless man who supplied Class A drugs across Swindon has been jailed for more than two years.
Oskar Krzeszewski pleaded guilty to supplying crack cocaine and heroin, two counts of possession with intent to supply the Class A drugs, two counts of possessing a bladed article in a public place, and one count of possessing criminal property.
At Swindon Crown Court on Friday, 8 August, he was sentenced to 28 months in prison.
On 25 April, police stopped Krzeszewski’s vehicle and searched it. He was found with an iPhone, two kitchen knives, two razor blades, around 50 wraps of Class A drugs, designer clothing and approximately £300 in cash.
He was bailed while enquiries continued, but officers discovered he had been running a Class A drugs line in the days before his arrest.
Just one day after being released, on Saturday, 26 April, police intelligence suggested a new drug line had been established.
On 24 June, officers executed a drugs warrant at a property in May Close, Swindon, where Krzeszewski was believed to be staying.
He was arrested and found with the SIM card linked to the new line, £5,500 in cash, and individual wraps of crack cocaine and heroin prepared for street deals.
Larger bulk bags of the drugs, along with scales and packaging, were also seized.
PC Aidan Hillier, from the Integrated Gangs Team at Wiltshire Police, 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.
“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.”
