Drug seizures led to a five-year–seven-month prison sentence in Bristol.

Avon and Somerset Police said officers recovered crack cocaine, heroin and cash during searches linked to the investigation.
Burchell was first arrested in December twenty twenty-five, then arrested again in February after further cocaine was found.
