Jail for Rugby drug dealer who hid heroin in his garden

A Rugby drug dealer who hid heroin in his garden has been jailed.

William Spencer, 53, was arrested in April after known drug dealers were spotted going into his house in Lower Hillmorton Road.

Plain clothed detectives, who were in the area acting on intelligence around drug dealing, stopped the users and seized their drugs.

They then force entry to Spencer’s house where they found heroin hidden in his garden and arrested him.

Spencer admitted to supplying heroin and was jailed for two years and eight months at Coventry Crown Court last week.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Tom Quinlan, said: “Our investigation has resulted in another drug dealer from Rugby being jailed and the streets being that bit safer. I’m pleased he has been handed this jail term; people need to understand that if they get involved in drug dealing they face serving time.”
