A couple who were supplying significant quantities of class A and B drugs across Dorset have pleaded guilty to drugs and money laundering offences.
Grant Putman, 33, and Brooke Marshall, 35, of Old Manor Close in Wimborne, Dorset, appeared at Bournemouth Crown Court on Tuesday, 3 February 2026, following an investigation by the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU).
Both Putman and Marshall pleaded guilty to the following offences:
- Concerned in the supply of cocaine
- Concerned in the supply of ketamine
- Concerned in the supply of cannabis
- Money laundering
In addition, Putman pleaded guilty to:
- Possession with intent to supply heroin
- Possession of an offensive weapon
The pair were arrested in August last year at their home address by SWROCU officers with assistance from Dorset Police. Approximately one-and-a-half kilos of cocaine, 400 grams of heroin, two kilos of cannabis, 500 grams of ketamine, hundreds of illegal disposable vapes, LSD, cannabis gummies, weapons and around £20,000 cash was seized.
DI Pete Walker of SWROCU said: “Both Putman and Marshall were supplying a vast array of drugs in significant quantities which would have undoubtedly made their way to the streets of Dorset. These drugs bring devastation to our communities – fuelling violent crime and anti-social behaviour as well as serious health risks.”
Putman and Marshall are both due to appear at the same court for sentencing on 24 March 2026.
