A 28-year-old man who boasted on social media of his luxurious lifestyle funded by the profits of supplying drugs in Northamptonshire has been jailed.
On April 21 this year, a jury unanimously found Jordan Woolmer, formerly of Hawthorn Road, Burton Latimer, guilty of supplying controlled Class A and Class B drugs following his trial at Northampton Crown Court.
Today (Friday, June 12), Woolmer returned to the same dock to be sentenced to 10 years and six months for the supply of cocaine and cannabis in the county as well as benefitting from the proceeds of his illicit activities.
He was also sentenced to one year and 10 months for two counts of breaching a suspended sentence order and a further three months for driving while disqualified and with no licence. These will run concurrently to his lengthy prison term.
Woolmer was also disqualified from driving for seven years and three months, which will start upon his release from prison.
This concludes a four-year investigation by Northamptonshire Police’s Serious and Organised Crime Team (SOCT), which centred on Woolmer following his arrest and the seizure of drugs and money in 2022.
Woolmer was arrested, along with his co-defendant Kacper Burzynski, after his BMW car was stopped by Northamptonshire Police in Victoria Gardens, Northampton, and 450 grams of cannabis, 83 grams of cocaine and £7,000 seized.
In custody, Woolmer’s £12,500 Rolex watch was also seized from him as evidence of him living off the proceeds of crime, while officers recovered a further £20,000 from a property he was renting and high value clothing from his home address.
Burzynski went on to plead guilty of being concerned in the supply of a controlled Class B drug and acquire/use/possess criminal property. On December 10, 2024, at Northampton Crown Court he was handed 10 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
However, this was just the start of the enforcement phases and on April 20, 2023, Woolmer’s fingerprints were found on more than £14,000 recovered during a search of a property in Leicester.
Four days later (April 24), Woolmer was once again forensically linked to 500 grams of cocaine recovered during a search of a storage facility in Rutland after his fingerprints were found on the packaging of the Class A drugs.
A year later (May 24, 2024), simultaneous warrants at two addresses in Burton Latimer led to the re-arrest of Woolmer when 500 grams of cocaine was found at one property, and more designer clothing along with £16,000 were seized from his home.
Over the two years, a total of £34,680 worth of clothing was seized from Woolmer, along with £57,465 in cash, a kilo of cocaine and 500 grams of cannabis.
Detective Constable James Roe, of SOCT, who led the investigation said: “No-one should be able to benefit from the money made from their ill-gotten gains. Jordan Woolmer thought he could live a life that was beyond his legal means and just couldn’t resist boasting about his luxurious lifestyle on his Instagram account.
“This has been a lengthy, but thorough investigation to bring Woolmer to justice, and we are pleased that the sentence imposed reflects the severity of the offending, and the dedication and attention to detail our team put into this case.”
Detective Inspector Carrie Powers of SOCT added: “Today’s result sends a clear message that drug networks operating within our area will be relentlessly targeted.
“Our investigation has disrupted a significant supply chain and helped reduce the harm these substances cause within our communities.
“Everyone involved in this investigation, and in particular DC Roe, has shown exceptional dedication and professionalism in securing Woolmer’s conviction.”
