Swindon Drug Dealers Caught Red-Handed in Garden Sting
Undercover Cops Trap Gang in Eldene Back Garden
Two Swindon drug dealers are now behind bars after police caught them red-handed in a high-stakes garden raid. On 10 October, Wiltshire Police’s Swindon Local Policing Tasking Team (LPTT) swooped on a gang spotted riding modified e-bikes and Surrons around Eldene. Acting on a tip-off about a wanted criminal and three masked associates, the officers moved fast.
The suspects were cornered in the back garden of a Dickinson Close home, attempting to sneak into a garage when cops pounced.
Class A Drugs and £4,000 Cash Seized
The dramatic bust saw officers recover bags of Class A drugs tossed onto the garage roof and £4,000 in cash. The suspects were swiftly arrested and identified as 21-year-old Kenzie Cobb from Islandsmead, Eldene, and 20-year-old Leo Morris from Henry Street, Swindon.
Harsh Sentences Delivered at Swindon Crown Court
- Leo Morris pleaded guilty on 13 January to supplying crack cocaine and heroin, cannabis possession, and driving offences. He was sentenced to four years and one month behind bars.
- Kenzie Cobb admitted supplying cannabis and driving offences. He received a 16-month suspended sentence, which was activated alongside a prior 16-month term — totalling 32 months in jail.
Police also confiscated the £4,000 cash haul under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Swindon Police Vow to Stamp Out Drug Dealing
PC 2067 Guy of LPTT warned: “Drug dealing fuels serious violence on our streets. There’s no place for it in Swindon and Wiltshire. We will keep hunting down dealers and bringing them to justice.”
He urged the public to stay alert: “If you spot drug supply, ring 101 or use our online form. For anonymous tips, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
