Rugby teenager jailed after electric scooter flight from police
Warwickshire Police reports that a 19-year-old drug dealer from Rugby has been jailed for three years and two months following a series of drug supply offences, after an attempt to flee officers on an electric scooter failed to prevent his arrest.
Callum Davies, of Marlborough Road, Rugby, appeared at Warwick Crown Court on 2 July and pleaded guilty to four counts of supplying Class A drugs. The sentence included the activation of a previously suspended term.
The case began on 23 March when officers searched a flat in Deepmore Road, Rugby. They seized heroin and crack cocaine, along with weighing scales, cash and a mobile phone. Davies was subsequently interviewed at Leamington Police Station and released under investigation while enquiries continued.
On 31 March, officers from Rugby Proactive CID on patrol spotted Davies acting suspiciously outside a property in Victoria Street. He was later observed riding an electric scooter, and when officers moved to stop him, he fled the scene.
During the pursuit, officers watched Davies discard a package, which was later recovered and found to contain three wraps of Class A drugs. Police returned to the Victoria Street address, where they arrested Davies along with a woman present at the property. A search of the premises resulted in the seizure of bulk quantities of drugs and a mobile phone.
Detective Sergeant Alan Gardner said the result 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 knowledge of drug supply or production in the area to contact police on 101, via the Warwickshire Police website, or to report anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
