Three men from Thetford jailed after drugs worth £100k found

Daryl Husbands, 35, and Charlie Blackwell, 33, both of Chase Court in Thetford, and David Klec, 34, of Peter Drive in Thetford, all appeared at Ipswich Crown Court concerning a series of incidents in 2021.

Between March and June 2021, a BMW registered to Klec made nine trips between Thetford and Liverpool.

Mobile phone analysis confirmed all three had been in contact outside of the Liverpool trips.

A search of Blackwell's home in August 2021 uncovered a compressed block of cocaine worth around £100,000 belonging to himself and Husbands.

All three men pled guilty on December 15 and Husbands was jailed for six years and nine months, Blackwell received a six-year jail term and Klec was handed a three-year sentence. 

Investigating officer DC Daniel Rayner said: “These are significant sentences that illustrate our zero-tolerance approach towards drug supply.”

“We are committed to disrupting those who choose to distribute drugs in our county.

"I hope this sentence acts as a deterrent to anyone who may choose to involve themselves in this type of criminal activity.”
