The 39-year-old pleaded guilty at Maidstone Crown Court was sentenced to 3 years and 3 months in prison.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Billie-Louise Keane said: “Bigg intended to deal class A and B drugs to local people and in doing so cause misery within the local community.

“He should be ashamed of his conduct and a prison sentence will ensure the most vulnerable are protected from his criminality.”
