Man (39) Jailed 11 Years For £43K In Drugs

Monday, 24 July 2023 15:53

Shane Derek Lloyd has been sentenced to 11 years and four months in prison after pleading guilty in court to drug charges.

A police drug squad seized over £43,000 of cannabis and cocaine in March 2023, along with a substantial amount of cash.

The 39-year-old's devices were also taken and evidence on his mobile suggested he was involved in the supply of the drugs.

Head of Jersey's drug squad, Detective Sergeant Jim McGranahan, says the police are committed to removing all illegal drugs from the island.

"We continue to work with our partners and other agencies to protect our community from the harm these drugs can cause."

Lloyd pleaded guilty to five drug-related charges and was remanded at HMP La Moye until his sentencing today (24 July).
