Scott Poole, aged 37, of Loscoe Road, Heanor, was jailed for four years for possession with intent to supply cocaine and heroin, as well as driving offences including using a vehicle without insurance and driving while disqualified.

Ryan Poole, aged 30, also of Loscoe Road, Heanor, was sentenced to three years imprisonment, also for possession with intent to supply cocaine and heroin.

The pair were arrested by officers who stopped a car on Marshall Street in the town on Friday, October 18 last year and were sentenced at Derby Crown Court on September 24.
