Human RightsBristol Man Pleads Guilty to Drug and Money Laundering Charges After Seizure of £230,000 Worth of Californian Cannabis

A Bristol man, Karl McEwing, aged 39, has pleaded guilty to drug and money laundering charges after being arrested by the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU). McEwing was arrested following a warrant that led to the seizure of nearly 17 kilograms of high-potency imported Californian cannabis (Cali Weed) and over £60,000 in cash from his flat. The cannabis had an approximate street value of £230,000.

He was charged and pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cannabis and possession of criminal property at Bristol Magistrates Court. McEwing has been remanded in custody and will be sentenced at the Crown Court next month.

DS Stuart Cumine from the SWROCU’s Regional Disruption Team emphasized the extent of the drug dealing and the harm it caused to the community. He urged people to report suspicions of criminal activity in their neighborhoods to local law enforcement or anonymously to Crimestoppers to help combat crime.
