A JUDGE has issued a warrant for the arrest of a teenager who was involved in the trade in heroin and cocaine in Wichelstowe.

Calvin Drew, 18, who pleaded guilty to three counts of being concerned in the supply of hard drugs, was due to face sentence at Swindon Crown Court.

But when Drew, from inner London, failed to turn up, Recorder Malcolm Gibney issued a warrant without bail for his arrest.

Drew has admitted his part in dealing heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine between November last year and Saturday, January 9.
