Calverton persistent drug dealer sent back to prison following house raids by police in village

A persistent dealer has been sent back to prison following a police investigation into drugs supply in Calverton.

Floyd Sneap’s home in Georges Lane was one of three properties raided by officers from the Gedling North neighbourhood policing team and other officers on March 26, 2025.

Sneap, aged 29, and his partner Hollie Howard were detained when the warrant was executed and searches of the address took place.

Officers found cocaine with a street value of around £4,000 as well as heroin, cannabis plants and cannabis cookies.

There was also a knuckle duster and a host of equipment associated with street dealing, including electric weighing scales, and bundles of cash.

A burner-style mobile phone was seized which showed Sneap had been supplying multiple drug users around the village.

Sneap, of Georges Lane, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine, heroin and cannabis.

At Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday (18) he was jailed for a total of five years and seven months.

Howard, aged 34, also of Georges Lane, admitted possession of a Class B drug and was conditionally discharged for 12 months on July 17 2025.

Detective Constable James Gill said: “Sneap’s sentencing follows a long-standing investigation into drug dealing in Calverton which was progressed over many months by the neighbourhood team.

“The warrants and ensuing CID investigation involved multiple policing teams working together to achieve this outcome in court.

“It was no surprise when the warrant was executed at Georges Lane to discover Sneap had been using his home as a base to supply drugs to vulnerable users in the area.

“Sneap has an unenviable record of previous offending, including a jail sentence for drug dealing as recently as 2023.

“Evidence on the phone revealed he had effectively messaged addicts in the village to say he was back open for business.

“Class A drugs continue to cause immeasurable harm in communities and street dealers like Sneap make profits from this misery so our efforts to disrupt the trade continue through proactive work like this.”
