SERIAL heroin user and supplier Shaun Bell has been sent to prison for a mandatory seven year jail term.

The minimum sentence was triggered because he had three previous convictions for similar offences.

Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard police raided the 42-year-old's flat in Albert Street, Newcastle, in March last year.

Prosecutor Stuart Clarkson said yesterday the drugs were found after a strip search.

A silver wrap containing a small amount of heroin was also found on a bedside table.

Bell pleaded guilty to possession of a class-A drug with intent to supply and simple possession of the drug. The value of the heroin was about £90.

Police also executed a search warrant at a flat in Dove Place, Clayton, on the same day.

Sarah Dykes, aged 19, and Karl Peers, aged 34, who live at the address, were inside.

A small amount of heroin was found. Both pleaded guilty to possession of heroin with intent to supply. Peers also pleaded guilty to two charges of simple possession of the class-A drug. Dykes and Peers received two-year community orders with supervision and drug rehabilitation.

    “Look at that, a face not even a mother could love. Is it true that when this little darling was born, the doctor slaped his mother, the nurse, ran out of the delivery room, punched his father and then droped down stone dead becouse of fright.
    S- shaped nose I think you call that and I think you can say they are a nice pair of jug ears to go with it, he look like the ruddy FA Cup...lol . As for the berching, well it looks like he's had one good sesition of that allready,on the forehead. This one sould never see the light of day again, just for being ugly. If Peter Jackson needs a new Gollom, I would surgest he hires the one, he will not any make up or CGA.”

    “Should have thrown away the key more like. Peddling their filth, and creating misery among the community. Its the actions of this low life scum that create crime and fear to law abiding citizens.”
