A 26-year-old man caught in a police operation to crack down on heroin dealing in Redditch has been remanded in custody by a judge.

Stephen Burford, of Yew Tree Road, Smethwick, Birmingham, admitted three counts of supplying undercover officers with heroin deals in April and May.

He was trapped by Operation Sabre, Worcester Crown Court was told.

Judge Michael Mott refused bail on the grounds that there was a risk of reoffending. He told Burford the only penalty for his drug crimes was jail.
