A DRUG dealer is facing years behind bars for importing various drugs including cocaine and for trading in ecstasy. 

Alexander Greening admitted 10 different drug charges including the importation, supply and possession of class A drugs when he appeared before magistrates in Worcester on Thursday.

In total, the offences involved eight different drugs but Greening was thwarted by checks by Border Force officers who intercepted the drugs en route to his address. The organisation is the law enforcement command within the Home Office which secures the UK border by carrying out immigration and customs controls for people and goods entering the UK.

Greening, 22, had been listed at an address in Martley but gave his address to the court as Elmdale Road, off Cornmeadow Lane, in Worcester. 

He admitted three charges of importing a controlled drug of class A to which a prohibition applies - Bromodimethoyhphenethylamine (class A) on April 20 last year; Oxycodone (class A) on May 19 last year and cocaine (class A) on June 23 last year.

The suited defendant, who appeared at court with his parents who sat in the public gallery area, further admitted three charges of possession with intent to supply drugs on August 13 last year - class A drug MDMA (also known as ecstasy), Psilocin (class A), Psilocin (class A) and Eutylone (class B).

He also admitted three charges of simple possession of drugs on August 13 last year - cocaine (class A), Ketamine (class B) and Diazepam (class C).

Sumreen Afsar, prosecuting, said the drugs, addressed to the defendant, were intercepted by Border Force and a search warrant was executed at his home where drugs and paraphernalia were found.

"These are matters the Crown say must go to crown court to be sentenced. It is in excess of your sentencing powers and should be committed to crown court for sentence," she said.

Mrs Afsar said the Crown had identified Greening as having 'a significant role' in the offence with a starting point for the importation of the drugs of six years in prison with a range available of between five and seven years.

"That's just in relation to the importation," she said.

She explained there was a starting point of four years and six months for some of the other offences. 

Chairman of the Bench, Kevin Lloyd-Wright, said: "You have pleaded guilty to all of these counts and you are committed to the crown court in Worcester for sentence. These offences are so serious you need greater punishment than we can give."

Greening was granted unconditional bail to attend Worcester Crown Court on February 3. He was told to be there for 9.15am, ready for the hearing at 10am.
