Detective inspector James Cassedy said: “We are pleased to see a dangerous drug dealer removed from the streets of Felixstowe. Wright’s offending shows he has little regard for the law or for the property of others. He now has a lengthy sentence to consider his actions.

“We hope Bullock will now choose a better pathway for himself, knowing that if he reoffends his suspended sentence will be activated.”
