Two men from Felixstowe have been sentenced for drug and other offences.

Nathan Wright (pictured above), 24, of Waveney Road, Felixstowe was sentenced to five years and four months in prison for a number offences including being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

Jordan Bullock, 23, also of Waveney Road, was given a two-year custodial sentence, suspended for 18 months.

Bullock was first arrested in May 2022 in relation to drug offences, with evidence of drug dealing and Class A drugs located during searches. He was again arrested in relation to drug dealing offences in December of that year, before subsequently being charged.

At this time Wright was also arrested on suspicion of a number of offences, including being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs, with cash and drugs located during a warrant.

During their investigation, officers discovered evidence showing drug dealing activity between January and December 2022. 

Wright was also sentenced for criminal damage after he smashed the window of a business in Felixstowe in September 2021 and for further threats of violence made to individuals in the town.

Having pleaded guilty at a previous hearing, Wright was given consecutive custodial sentences for the following at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday 18 October:

• Concerned in the supply of cocaine – four years eight months imprisonment.
• Threat to commit criminal damage – eight months imprisonment.

He was also given concurrent sentences for the following.

• Possess criminal property – 16 months imprisonment.
• Converting criminal property – four months imprisonment.
• Possess criminal property – 16 months imprisonment.
• Criminal damage – two months imprisonment.
• Criminal damage – two months imprisonment.
• Criminal damage – two months imprisonment.
• Transferring criminal property – four months imprisonment.

Bullock also pleaded guilty at a previous hearing and was sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on 18 October to the following:

• Being concerned in the supply of cocaine
• Possession with intent to supply cocaine
• Possessing criminal property

He was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work within the next 12 months.

Detective inspector James Cassedy said: “We are pleased to see a dangerous drug dealer removed from the streets of Felixstowe. Wright’s offending shows he has little regard for the law or for the property of others. He now has a lengthy sentence to consider his actions.

“We hope Bullock will now choose a better pathway for himself, knowing that if he reoffends his suspended sentence will be activated.”
