A caravan park in Skegness was the scene of a major drug bust, resulting in prison sentences totalling over 13 years for those involved. Lincolnshire police swooped in on the criminals following intelligence about suspicious vehicles believed to be involved in drug distribution. The vehicles were tracked down to a caravan at an Ingoldmells caravan park, where the men were found in the midst of distributing class A drugs, including crack cocaine and heroin, to Skegness streets.
The raid was executed at 2.39pm on September 20 by the Lincolnshire Police’s Proactive team at Coastfields Holiday Village Caravan Park. The officers discovered two suspects wearing rubber gloves, handling a significant amount of class A drugs and around £1,000 in cash.
Five Bradford men: Dylan Brandon (24), Shane Brandon (26), Adam Fawcett (23), Kayne Harrison (31), and Jardell Healey-Hunter (27) were each charged with two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A.
Following a four-day trial in January at Lincoln Crown Court, Harrison was acquitted, while three others pleaded guilty. On April 14, the culprits were sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court. Dylan Brandon received three years and seven months, Shane Brandon got four years and one month, and Adam Fawcett was handed four years and six months. Healey-Hunter, who failed to appear in court, was found guilty in his absence and given four years, with a warrant issued for his arrest.
Det Insp Kara Nicholson of East Lindsey CID affirmed their commitment to bringing drug supply offenders to justice and thanked community members for their valuable information, which helped target the drug network effectively. The Lincolnshire police continue their dedicated efforts to ensure Skegness remains a safe and welcoming place to live, work, and visit.
