Rugby teenager jailed after fleeing officers on electric scooter

A 19-year-old drug dealer from Rugby has been sentenced to three years and two months in custody after twice being caught supplying Class A drugs, warwickshireworld.com reports.

Callum Davies, of Marlborough Road, appeared at Warwick Crown Court on 2 July, where he pleaded guilty to four counts of supplying Class A drugs. The sentence included the activation of a previously suspended term.

The first arrest came on 23 March, when officers searched a flat in Deepmore Road, Rugby, seizing heroin, crack cocaine, weighing scales, cash and a mobile phone. Davies was interviewed at Leamington Police Station and released under investigation while enquiries continued.

Eight days later, on 31 March, officers from Rugby's Proactive CID spotted Davies acting suspiciously outside a property on Victoria Street. He was subsequently seen riding an electric scooter, and when police moved to stop him he fled the scene.

Officers watched him discard a package, which was later found to contain three wraps of Class A drugs. Police returned to the Victoria Street address shortly afterwards and arrested Davies along with a woman present at the property. A search of the premises yielded further bulk quantities of drugs and a mobile phone.

Detective Sergeant Alan Gardner said the conviction followed "the persistence of Rugby Proactive CID, engagement with local authorities and intelligence from the community." He added that those involved in drug offences in Rugby "will be continually targeted by the police."

Gardner urged anyone with information about drug supply or production to contact police by calling 101, via the Warwickshire Police website, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
