A COUNTY lines drug dealer who ‘flooded’ Evesham with crack cocaine and heroin has been jailed for three years.
Alfie Booth, 19, was convicted of being concerned in the supply of a class A drug – (crack cocaine) and being concerned in the supply of a class A drug (heroin) between September 2024 and July 2025.
The teenager was arrested at his home address in July for an unrelated incident where a mobile phone was seized during a section 18 search.
The phone was found to be a ‘Macca/Makka’ county lines number, which is a number specifically used for a dedicated drug dealing network. In Booth’s case the area covered was Evesham.
Booth, of Stubbington End, exploited young people to push his drugs onto vulnerable people in the community, which the judge noted as an aggravating factor in the case.
In January, a warrant was carried out at his home address and uncovered 290 wraps of class A drugs, drug dealing paraphernalia and mobile phones.
Speaking on Booth’s conviction, DC Tomkins of South Worcestershire Proactive CID, said: “We are pleased to secure this sentence for Booth whose deal line flooded Evesham and the surrounding areas with class A drugs.
“We know the harmful impact of drugs and drug dealing on our communities and will always act on intelligence to shut down deal lines like this one.
“Drug dealers prey on the most vulnerable people in society and their presence in turn causes more crime such as shoplifting, burglary and antisocial behaviour.”
He was further ordered a forfeiture of £465 cash seized; forfeiture and destruction of the drugs and paraphernalia and a deprivation order of his electric bike used during the sale of drugs around Evesham.
Booth was sentenced to three years for each offence to run concurrently when he appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Thursday, October, 2.
