Drug dealer shoved heroin and cocaine up bum during police raid on house

Addicts jailed for their part in 'significant scale' drugs hotline

- BY ADAM EVERETT

A DRUG dealer attempted to shove hundreds of pounds of heroin and cocaine up his bum when the police came knocking at his door.

Trevor Jevons and his flatmate Martin Pilson operated a “significant scale” drugs hotline, which was so busy that they began fulfilling orders on behalf of other criminals.

Despite being arrested and having had both drugs and cash seized from them, the two men continued with “business as usual” and resumed their activities “almost immediately after getting out of the police station”.

The former apologised to a judge for his actions as he was locked up.

Liverpool Crown Court heard that a “county lines drug investigation” identified a phone number which was utilised by Jevons and Pilson in order to send out bulk messages advertising heroin and cocaine for sale to users in the Southport area between June and October last year.

This was also the “main contact” for “another graft line which was forwarding orders for drugs to the defendant”, namely the “Jonno line”.

Ben Berkson, prosecuting, described how more than 1,700 messages “consistent with drug dealing” were exchanged via the device during this period.

This led to Merseyside Police executing a search warrant at their flat on Ash Street in Southport on October 23, 2024.

Officers were confronted by a “reinforced, barricaded door” at the property, while 50-year-old Pilson also made efforts to “prevent them from entering”.

When PCs did manage to force their way inside, they discovered Jevons “attempting to conceal drugs intimately in his body”.

This stash consisted of a total of 49 wraps of heroin and 29 of cocaine, illicit substances valued at an estimated £780. A black Nokia phone and £40 in cash were also seized from the 49-year-old.
