A DRUG dealer has been caught selling heroin and crack in a Herefordshire town.
Neil Fear pleaded guilty to charges of being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine, and possessing methadone when he appeared before magistrates on April 12.
The supply was said by prosecutor May Li to have taken place in Ledbury between January 5 and May 23 last year. Fear was caught in Ledbury with methadone in his possession on May 23.
Methadone is an opioid which can be prescribed by medical professionals to treat heroin dependence. However, it is illegal to possess it without a prescription.

The 48-year-old, represented at Bristol's magistrates court by Brian Carrick, has been released on unconditional bail ahead of his sentencing later this month. A pre-sentence report will be prepared by the probation service.
Fear, of Forest Road, Bristol, will appear at Worcester Crown Court along with another defendant alleged to have been involved in the offences.
Details of the other defendant are currently unavailable in court documents.
