A man ran a lucrative business selling cannabis-laced sweets on Instagram from a one-bed flat above a shop.
In total Jack Routledge-Wrench had three Instagram accounts selling cannabis and cannabis-spiked confectionery such as Nerd ropes, Chewits, chocolates, vape fluid and syrups. One of the accounts was public so anyone could see his posts while two others were closed and only viewable by sending a ‘friend request’.
Now, after a two year investigation, Routledge-Wrench has been jailed. Police began their investigation into his activities on Instagram in April 2020 following information that he was selling drugs online.
