A Trowbridge teenager who admitted dealing drugs was spared from prison on Tuesday.

Rhys Kent, 19, of Greenleaze Close, Southwick, pleaded guilty to possessing cocaine with intent to supply, possession of cannabis and production of cannabis, at Swindon Crown Court.

He was pulled over whilst riding a motorbike by police in Castle Street, on Saturday, April 6 as officers wanted to check his insurance.

They smelt cannabis on him, so searched him and found five bags of cannabis and four bags of cocaine.

A cannabis plant was also found at his home while texts on his mobile phone showed him to be a drug dealer. 

Kent was given an 18 month jail term suspended for a year with supervision and ordered to carry out a six month drug rehabilitation programme.
