A man who went on expensive holidays "funded by his criminality" has been jailed for 8 years after police seized £38,650 worth of cocaine from his home address.
Khyl Harrington, of Meadow Lane, Westbury, was arrested on June 13, last year after a search of his home saw officers seize the cocaine and £5,900 cash.
The 32-year-old pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine between 2019 and 2023 and for possession of criminal property at Salisbury Crown Court on Thursday, October 10.

Detective Constable Ian Tilley said: "Harrington was living a lifestyle that was beyond his means such as going on expensive holidays. This was all funded by his criminality.
“We know the huge impact and harm that drugs cause within our communities, from the impact on users and their family and friends to the associated crime and antisocial behaviour affecting neighbours and the wider community.
“Creating Safer Public Spaces for the public remains a key Force priority and we are determined to make Westbury and the wider county a hostile area for drug dealers."
