A man has been jailed for importing cannabis with a street value of £200,000.

Jamie Ivers, 34, of Field Road, St George, Bristol, pleaded guilty to seven offences, including possession with intent to supply cannabis, after packages containing a total of 24 kilos of the class B drug from the United States were linked to him between May and November 2025.

He was sentenced to three years and nine months at Bristol Crown Court on 8 January.

DS Stuart Cumine, from the South West Regional Organised Unit (SWROCU), said: “His imprisonment will have had an impact on the availability of cannabis in the city and particularly in East Bristol.”

The court heard SWROCU officers executed warrants at three addresses connected to Ivers – two in Field Road and one in Craftes Court in Speedwell, which Ivers used as a stash house.

At the time he was also being investigated by Avon and Somerset Police for dangerous driving and perverting the course of justice.
