Peterborough drug dealer jailed after trying to conceal £22,000 worth of heroin in plants

Daniel Kilroy, 25, of Braymere Road, Hampton, Peterborough, pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs at Peterborough Crown Court on Monday, February 27.

The court heard how Kilroy was first found in Fenmere Walk on December 21, 2016, hiding a package of heroin worth up to £22,000 in some reeds.

The following month on January 26 he was spotted collecting a package of heroin worth up to £2,200 from an alleyway in Teasel Way. Officers also discovered two mobiles phones and large amounts of cash.

PC Andy Savidge said: “The quantity of drugs in Kilroy’s possession demonstrated that he was supporting a large scale supply in Peterborough.

“He attempted to deter police from his home by storing his drugs in public places.

“His actions showed a distinct lack of regard for the safety of others as they were in areas where children could have come into contact with them.”
