Two men who admitted class A drug dealing offences have been given a "chance" after they were spared jail.

Liam Frosdick, 22, and Reagan Cleall, 24, were both arrested by police in Gorleston in March 2021 in relation to drugs supply offences.

Norwich Crown Court heard Cleall was found to have drugs on him worth £150.

Although no drugs were found on Frosdick a phone was found following a search of his home which revealed "messages consistent with drugs supply".

Chris Youell, prosecuting, said one of those who received messages from Frosdick included a person called Reagan which was his co-defendant.

Frosdick, of Symonds Avenue, Ormesby, appeared for sentence on Friday (March 17) having previously admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

He also admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis as well as further charges relating to the supply of class A and class C drugs.

Cleall, of Newsons Meadow, Lowestoft, had previously admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

Lori Tucker, mitigating for Frosdick, said he admitted the offences which were selling to a "very limited number of friends" but had since "ceased completely his use of class A drugs". 

John Morgans, mitigating for Cleall, said he was "effectively of good character" and was only 22 at the time of the offending.

He said his decisions had a "background of immaturity" but he has had to "grow up" and was "ashamed of what he's done".

Recorder Douglas Edwards spoke of the "foolishness of becoming involved in that dark world" but recognised their guilty pleas and was going to give them a "chance".

Frosdick was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment, suspended for two years and Cleall received a 19-month sentence, suspended for two years.

Both were ordered to carry out 200 hours unpaid work and up to 25 days rehabilitation activity requirement (RAR).
