The offences relate to a period of several months between March 2020 and March 2021, during which time he was arrested on four occasions.
During the arrests and related searches at his home address a total of £3,420 of cash and numerous mobile phones were seized. On the most recent arrest in March 2021, whilst he was on crown court bail, a quantity of class A drugs was also located at his address.
The evidence obtained from the devices linked Chalwell to the supply of drugs. Also, conversations were recovered that showed that he was instrumental in the tasking of young people, one just 14 years of age, to assist in his drug dealing activity.
In one conversation with a 16-year-old boy Chalwell directed the individual to a stash site and then sent him details of customers who would be attending. The use of juveniles in this manner was taken into account as an aggravating feature of his offending.
