🚔 Former Milkman Turned Drug Dealer Lands in Jail 🚔
In a twist fit for a movie, Amritpal Thandi, 36, who once delivered milk, traded in his milk cart for a scheme significantly less wholesome. This Bridgend resident was busted with nearly £2,500 worth of Class A and B drugs. 🎭🥛
Thandi was caught when police stopped his Volkswagen Passat during a drug-dealing investigation. A phone linked to a county lines operation was in his possession – a key piece of the puzzle that led to his arrest. Officers handcuffed Thandi to prevent an escape, finding three snap bags of cocaine on him. 📱🚓
But it didn’t stop there. A deeper dive revealed text messages about drug sales on his devices, and a raid on his home turned up a jar of cannabis tucked atop his bedroom fridge. 🍁🔍
With previous drug convictions in his past, Thandi pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply, and offering to supply, Class A and B drugs. His lawyer argued that his descent into dealing was propelled by his own addiction, a habit that began with cannabis at 16 and spiralled into cocaine use in his 20s. 🕰️💥
Despite his past as a hard-working milkman and a devoted dad, the court sentenced him to 30 months behind bars. A sobering reminder that crime doesn’t pay, no matter how skilled you are at delivering. 🤦♂️⏳
