Boy, 15, locked up for dealing Class A drugs on Taunton streets
A 15-YEAR-OLD boy has been locked up for dealing heroin and cocaine in Taunton.
The teenager, who cannot be named, was carrying Class A drugs with an estimated street value of £1,000 and £1,000 in cash when he was arrested.
He is not thought to have any connections to Taunton and had been on the run from a care home outside the area for six weeks.
He is believed to have links with a notorious London gang.
He received a detention and training order for 18 months at Taunton Deane Magistrates’ Court last week for two counts of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
His address was given as no fixed abode.
