The offender pleaded guilty at the first opportunity to supplying heroin and cocaine. He took undercover police officers to an address. Supplied with money, the offender went inside and emerged with the drugs which he then handed over. He had a bad criminal record, including ten convictions for simple possession of drugs. He was treated, as were these offenders, as a facilitator. He was in breach of bail and in breach of a suspended sentence for which he received a consecutive sentence. His sentence was reduced in respect of that single offence to three years’ imprisonment from four years.
