Suspended jail sentence for Sudbury drug offender

A man has received a suspended jail sentence for drug offences in Sudbury.

Bailey Clark, aged 19 and of Beatty Road, was sentenced at Ipswich Magistrates Court (pictured above) on Friday, August 12, for possession with intent to supply cannabis and being concerned in the supply of cannabis. It follows his guilty plea and he consequently received a 26 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 18 months.

The sentence follows a drugs warrant that took place at property on Beatty Road in August last year where a large quantity of herbal cannabis, with a street value of up to £2,100, was seized and Clark was arrested.

Sgt Olly Williams, who led the investigation, said: “This is a positive result of convicting a drug dealer who was supplying drugs in Sudbury. Drugs will not only have a detrimental effect on those that supply and use them but the wider communities. Our local communities have an important role to play, helping us target this criminality with intelligence and reporting suspicious activity.”
