Flint man jailed for attempting to smuggle drugs into Cheshire music festival

A man from Flint has been jailed after he admitted attempting to smuggle class A drugs into a music festival in Cheshire.

Trey Breeze appeared at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday 30th September where he was sentenced to three years in prison.

The 20-year-old of Albert Avenue, Flint, previously pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs (MDMA and 2C-B), possession with intent to supply class B drugs (Ketamine ) and being concerned in the supply of class C drugs.

Breeze attended the Creamfields Music Festival in Daresbury on Thursday 22nd August. While he was walking through the security area he was stopped by officers after a drugs dog indicated he was in possession of illegal drugs.

He was taken to a side area, where handed over a number of illegal drugs.

Breeze was ejected from the site and was later interviewed under caution in relation to the matter. During questioning he claimed that all of the drugs were for personal use.

However, upon appearing in court he admitted that he had taken the drugs to the festival to sell to other people.

Following the sentencing, Detective Constable Neil Fleming said:

“Every year before the festival we work really hard to ensure that attendees are fully aware of the consequences they could face if they bring illegal drugs onto the site.

“Sadly, Breeze chose to ignore these warnings, and despite being given ample opportunities to get rid of the drugs in surrender bins before going through the search process, he thought that she was smarter.

“His ignorance has landed him with a three-year prison sentence, where he can take the time to contemplate his actions and ask herself if it was worth it.

“Cheshire Police, along with event organisers and security staff, work extremely hard to ensure that Creamfields remains a safe and positive experience for all festivalgoers.

“We have seen the irrevocable damage illegal drugs can cause, particularly during the festival period. Those attempting to smuggle drugs into the event will be put before the courts and dealt with accordingly.”
