A TEENAGER caught drug dealing in Swindon has been warned to expect a jail term.

Joshua Littlechild, 18, pleaded guilty to possessing heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court.

Littlechild, from Walthamstow in east London, had the drugs when he was arrested on Wednesday, September 14.

Judge Tim Mousley QC adjourned the case to Friday, January 27, so the probation service can compile a presentence report and released him on bail on condition that he stays out of Wiltshire.

He said: “You have pleaded guilty to serious offences which, notwithstanding your age, are likely to result in a custodial sentence.”
