A MAJOR drugs operation run from a Dorset home has been dismantled after police uncovered a huge stash of Class A drugs, cash and illegal goods during a raid.

Officers from the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit swooped on a property in Wimborne in August 2025, uncovering what they described as a large-scale distribution setup operating from a family address.

Inside the home in Old Manor Close, officers found white powder scattered across kitchen surfaces, a bucket containing a kilo block of cocaine, bags of cannabis and hundreds of illegal vapes stacked around the property.

Drugs were even discovered stored in the fridge alongside everyday items.

In total, police seized one-and-a-half kilos of cocaine, 400 grams of heroin, 500 grams of ketamine, two kilos of cannabis, around £20,000 in cash and a knuckleduster.

Equipment used to prepare, package and post drugs across the UK was also recovered.

Grant Putman, 33, and Brooke Marshall, 35, both admitted their roles in the operation.

Putman pleaded guilty to multiple offences including possession with intent to supply heroin and possession of an offensive weapon, while Marshall admitted money laundering.

When they appeared at Bournemouth Crown Court on Thursday (April 16), Putman was jailed for six years and six months, while Marshall was sentenced to three years and eight months.

Det Sgt Stuart Cumine said: “With the support of our colleagues in Dorset Police we were able to act upon intelligence that drugs were being supplied from this residential address in the market town of Wimborne.

“The pair were making significant sums of money operating from their family home distributing drugs and THC products in the community and to customers across the UK through the postal service.

“The strength of the evidence was such that both Putman and Marshall pleaded guilty to the offences and the supply of these harmful drugs, which cause undeniable harm to communities, has been disrupted.”

Police are continuing to urge anyone with information about drug dealing to come forward, either by contacting officers directly on 101 or reporting anonymously via Crimestoppers on g 0800 555 111.
