Five men jailed for 27 years for flooding Bristol with cocaine

Five men have been jailed for a collective term of more than 27 years for their involvement in the supply of cocaine in Bristol.

The group of men, aged between 27 and 33, as well as a sixth man, aged 59, had all previously admitted a charge of being concerned in the supply of cocaine between November 2023 and April 2024.

They appeared at Bristol Crown Court yesterday (November 28) to be sentenced as follows:

• Cartell Williams, 28, of no fixed abode, was jailed for eight years;
• Aaron Thomas Haskins, 33, of Hartliffe, Bristol, was handed a seven-year prison term;
• Ashley Wood, 27, of Bedminster, Bristol, was jailed for six years;
• Ajani Smith, 28, of Lockleaze, Bristol, sentenced to four years in prison;
• Luke Anthony Gregory, 30, of Hartcliffe, Bristol was jailed for 28 months;
• Adrian Williams, 59, of Hartcliffe, Bristol, was handed a 19-month jail term, which was suspended for two years.

The case came after police stopped a car in Lockleaze, Bristol, on the night of April 7, and seized almost a kilo of cocaine.
