At Friday’s court appearance, Scrivens pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to supply heroin and one count of possession with intent to supply crack cocaine. He was sentenced to two years in prison, to be added to his current sentence.
Following the sentencing, investigating officer PC Thomas Fletcher from the Operational Patrol Unit, West Mercia Police said: “The misery drugs bring are well known, not just to those who take them but those around them and the local community.
“I hope today’s sentence shows we won’t tolerate drug dealing in our communities and will proactively target those we believe to be involved, utilising the powers we have to make sure their activity is disrupted.”
The investigation is part of West Mercia Police’s commitment to tackling serious and organised crime as part of the force’s Protect campaign.
