A 22-year-old has pleaded guilty to Class A drug offences after being stopped by police patrolling a residential area in Swindon.
Ronnie Collier, of Beech Avenue, Pinehurst, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin, possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and possession of criminal property, namely £690 in cash.
During a proactive patrol of Pinehurst at around lunchtime on Saturday, January 25, officers noticed what they believed to be drugs-related activity on Doris Archer Court, right next to Swindon Academy.
They searched Collier at the scene and arrested him under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

He appeared before Swindon Magistrates' Court on January 27, where prosecutor Ms Prince told the court that Collier was found to have a large quantity of drugs and money on him, which were seized by police.
Due to the seriousness of the offence, his case was then committed to Swindon Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
On Friday February 28, Collier pleaded guilty to all three charges.
He is due to be back before Swindon Crown Court for a sentencing hearing on April 4.
The 22-year-old will be remanded in custody in the meantime.
