Trio Sentenced for Supplying Class A Drugs in Scarborough

A trio of Doncaster drug dealers who supplied Class A drugs to the streets of Scarborough have now all been sentenced.

Two of the drug dealers were sentenced on the 11 June at York Crown Court, whilst the third received his sentence yesterday (22 July) at Sheffield Crown Court, all for possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine on 26 February 2022.

Charles Turner, 25, of Kiln Court, Doncaster was sentenced to three years concurrent in prison at Sheffield Crown Cout on 22 July

Jack Gregory, 25, of Doncaster Road, Doncaster received a two-year prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, at York Crown Court on 11 June. He will also have to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work within the next 12 months

Elie May Scorer, 24 of New Park Estate, Doncaster received an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, at York Crown Court on 11 June. She must also complete 20 days of rehabilitation activity

On 26 February 2022 officers became suspicious after the car the trio were travelling in was seen at an address linked to drug supply in Scarborough.

Following a police search it was discovered that Gregory was carrying multiple individual wraps of heroin and crack cocaine, Turner was found with £644.50 cash in his pocket and Scorer with two ‘burner’ phones, one of which was subsequently identified to be a ‘deal’ phone. A search of the car also revealed packages of cocaine stored in the front and back passenger footwells.

A key to a hotel room was also found on Gregory, and on searching the room, officers recovered digital scales and deal bags, a black bin bag containing a significant amount of heroin and cocaine, as well as £2130 in cash. Gregory’s fingerprints were found on a box containing drugs, whilst other evidence included Scorer’s driving licence, CCTV and hotel documents in Turner’s name.

Further cocaine, heroin, digital scales and deal bags were later recovered from Turner’s home address in Doncaster.

The trio were released on police bail conditions and despite all providing ‘no comment’ interviews, they all later pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

​The North Yorkshire Police (NYP) officer in charge of the investigation, PC Jessie Landers comments:

“County lines drug dealers are not welcome in Scarborough and justice will be served. The supply of illegal drugs brings nothing but crime and misery to our communities, as well as being destructive to families. With the public’s help, we will continue to put a stop to it.

“If you have any information about the sale of drugs in your area, let us know. Call the police on 101, report it via our website, or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

 “I’d also like to highlight the free, confidential and non-judgemental services across North Yorkshire available for people whose lives are affected by drugs. Visit www.northyorks.gov.uk/healthy-living/drugs-and-alcohol to find out more and get that support.”
