Guernsey men jailed for importing drugs to island

  • Published

Two men have been jailed for importing drugs into Guernsey.

The Royal Court was told they were detained when a mixture of Pentylone and MDPBP, sent in the post, was intercepted by Border Agency officers.

Ryan Hockey, 31, from the island, pleaded guilty and was jailed for two years.

Clint Ridley, 27 and convicted earlier, was sentenced to a three-year term. The package containing the drug was addressed to a fake person.

The package containing the drugs, destined for a residential address in Les Tracheries Road, St Sampson, was intercepted in July 2010.

Officers replicated the parcel and after it was collected by Hockey and Ridley the pair were arrested and later charged.

The drugs had a potential resale value of between £500 and £800.
