Dealer jailed after flushing drugs down toilet

Isaiah Llewellyn was jailed for six years at Nottingham Crown Court on Wednesday

A drug dealer who flushed crack cocaine down the toilet during a police raid in Nottingham has been jailed.

Officers arrested Isaiah Llewellyn, 27, at a home in Rosetta Road, New Basford, on 11 December 2024, and became suspicious when they noticed his jumper sleeves were soaking wet.

Nottinghamshire Police said the toilet was found to be blocked - and a package of drugs was later recovered from a manhole outside the property.

Llewellyn, who was already under investigation for drug dealing, received a six-year prison sentence at Nottingham Crown Court on 20 August.

Llewellyn, of Rosetta Road, pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession with intent to supply heroin and cannabis, and possession of criminal property.

Police said he was further sentenced for offences dating back to 13 May 2023, when he was wanted by the force in connection to unrelated incidents.

Following the hearing, PC Jack Shephard, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "A collaborative investigation involving multiple teams over two years showed Llewellyn was a persistent drug dealer who was very brazen in his offending.

"Class A drugs continue to ruin lives in our communities, but we know arrests, charges and sentences like these help to disrupt this illegal trade."
