An 18-year-old drug dealer, Harvey Peach, was apprehended after a police chase through a Sainsbury’s car park in Redditch. Peach, who was spotted dealing drugs from his Ford Fiesta, attempted to evade law enforcement but was promptly arrested and linked to the ‘Emz’ County Line. Following his arrest, a search of his vehicle uncovered a large hunting knife and incriminating evidence on his mobile phone, implicating him in the distribution of crack cocaine and heroin. Subsequently, Peach was found guilty and sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison, as well as being ordered to pay a fine of £1,125.
Detective Constable David Laver of West Mercia Police emphasized the significance of community collaboration in combating drug-related crime and expressed satisfaction with the outcome of Peach’s sentencing.
