Three men from London are on the run after being sentenced to a total of 17 years in jail following a Wiltshire Police investigation for supplying crack cocaine and heroin in Swindon.
After failing to appear in court for sentencing, the three men were sentenced in their absence after failing to appear in court and are now wanted.
Kennedy Campbell, 26, of Enfield, has been sentenced to seven years and two months in prison, while Bernard Sindano, 29, of Walthamstow, and Ricardo Wright, 24, of Croydon, have both been sentenced to five years one month and four years nine months respectively.
In April 2018 Campbell was arrested alongside Wright, a month after Sindano was arrested, with officers seizing thousands of pounds of cash, drugs and burner phones.
By tracking dealer phone numbers and forensically analysing drugs found, officers were able to establish Campbell as the kingpin of the network, running a line which saw Class A drugs distributed around Swindon.
Charges were brought in August 2020 against Campbell, Sindano and Wright for conspiring to supply cocaine and heroin, and possessing criminal property.
PC Emma Rice said: “This was an excellent piece of work by the Fortitude team to secure convictions for these three drug dealers.
“County lines drug dealers like these ruin lives and our team were determined to stop at nothing to ensure they were brought to justice.
“These convictions and sentences show that we won’t let county borders stop us from catch criminals who are trying to supply Wiltshire with illegal drugs.”
