Drvg dealer who accidentally text police about his market is jailed

A drvg dealer who accidentally texted a police officer about his new drvg line is now in jail

Jack Johannesen, 23, of Stirling Close, Sandy, Bedfordshire, admitted two counts of being concerned in the supply of ca.nn.abis – and one count of breaching bail conditions.

Bedfordshire Police said he was part of an organised crime croup (OCG) operating across Biggleswade and Sandy supplying ca.nn.abis, crack cocaine and heroin.

He was handed two years and 10 months at a sentencing hearing at Luton Crown Court.

On 25 October last year, officers executed a warrant at Johannesen’s home address where he was arrested for being concerned in the supply of class B drugs.

Multiple mobile phones were seized from the property, including one found in the kitchen bin which he had attempted to smash up.

Messages downloaded from all devices showed more than 400 numbers were contacted about drvgs available and costs.

Johannesen was bailed, but eight days later, used a newly registered phone to send a message with his new deal line.

However, he mistakenly sent the message to a police officer’s work phone – one of the officers who had been at the initial warrant.

On 28 November, another warrant was executed at his address where he was further arrested for being concerned in the supply of class A and class B drvgs.

A small amount of ca.nn.abis, high value designer items and nearly £2,000 in cash was seized.
