Andrew Haig, from Peacehaven, was arrested in Bristol with £34,000 cash

Andrew Haig, from Peacehaven, was arrested in Bristol with £34,000 cash - and told police he found the money under a hedge while relieving himself. Haig, of Cavell Road North, was jailed for three and a half years for conspiracy to supply cocaine on Friday. He was caught after selling cocaine to a dealer described as a ‘regional supplier’ in Bath. A list of names and sums of money then led detectives to other members of the drugs ring. Five men were jailed at Bristol Crown Court following a police operation involving 52 days of surveillance at a Bath nightclub. Duncan Whitefoot, 48, from Chippenham, was jailed for eight years for conspiring to supply cocaine and cannabis. He was found with 1kg of cocaine of 48% purity, which police said he had just bought from Haig in the car park of an Ikea store, and ten bars of cannabis resin. He ran Burdells Yard nightclub in Bath, along with Stephen Carter, 54 of Monkton Farleigh, Wiltshire, who was sentenced to five and a half years on the same charges. Geoffrey Skardon, 48, from Bristol, and Timothy Wimble, 46, of Corsham, Wiltshire, were each jailed for five years for the cocaine conspiracy. <br />Detective Constable Chris Hitchcock of Wiltshire Police said: “These defendants have been supplying drugs across the south of England during several months, and who is to know the extent of the misery they have caused to young people?”
