A man who was "living a lifestyle that was beyond his means", before officers seized £38,650 worth of cocaine from his home, has been jailed for eight years.

Khyl Harrington, of Meadow Lane, Westbury, was sentenced for being concerned in the supply of cocaine between 2019 and 2023 and for possession of criminal property.

He was arrested on 13 June last year after officers seized the cocaine and £5,900 cash from his home.

The 32-year-old pleaded guilty to the offences at Salisbury Crown Court on Thursday.

Det Con Ian Tilley, of Wiltshire Police, said: "Harrington was living a lifestyle that was beyond his means such as going on expensive holidays. This was all funded by his criminality.

“We know the huge impact and harm that drugs cause within our communities, from the impact on users and their family and friends to the associated crime and antisocial behaviour affecting neighbours and the wider community.

“Creating Safer Public Spaces for the public remains a key force priority and we are determined to make Westbury and the wider county a hostile area for drug dealers."
