A drug dealer from Helston is behind bars this evening after being sentenced at court.

Joshua Michael Taylor, from Bulwark Road, appeared before Truro Crown Court today (Friday, October 15), where he was sentenced to two counts of being involved in the supply of cocaine and possession with intent to supply cocaine, cannabis and MDMA.

The 22-year-old had been sent for a jury trial when he initially appeared before magistrates in Truro back in June, before going on to plead guilty to the charges on July 23 this year.

He appeared before Judge Simon Carr earlier today, where he was sentenced to two years in prison.

The charges related to offences committed between July 9 and September 26, 2019.

All the offences took place in Helston, and contravened the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
