A county lines drug supplier has been jailed for three years after being caught by police near Axminster. 

Kareem Edwards-Lowton, also known as Delroy Edwards, aged 31, of London, was convicted last week at Exeter Crown Court for two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

He was arrested by police after being stopped on the A35, near Axminster, in November 2018 and was linked to a drug supply gang bringing heroin and cocaine from London to Devon, Dorset, Somerset and Essex.

It took 21 months to charge Edwards-Lowton, with delays largely due to the amount of time it took to analyse phones found in the car.
