Father and son jailed over drug dealing offences

A father and son who pleaded guilty to drug dealing offences have been jailed.

Charlie Wyatt, 33, of Furzedown, Stevenage was sentenced to two years for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and six months for Class B.

He was also given a nine-month concurrent sentence for possession with intent to supply drugs at St Albans Crown Court on Tuesday.

His father Simon Wyatt, 58, of Eliot Road, Stevenage, was also in court and was jailed for two years and six months for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, and three months for Class B.

Hertfordshire Police said the pair played a key role in supplying a range of Class A and B drugs across the Stevenage area.

The force said it arrested two people during an operation in November 2025 and seized cocaine, cannabis and £2,600 in cash.

The court ordered forfeiture of the money seized to a Hertfordshire-based charity and both were ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £228.

Det Con Harrison Newbury-Kemp said: "These two were involved in running the 'Bill and Ben' line that was supplying drugs to the Stevenage area.

"These sentences will have a significant effect on the drug supply and related crime in Stevenage."
