Lewis Breen-Ledger

Supply of class A and class B drugs, and causing serious injury by dangerous driving

March 27, 2024

Sentence: 4.5 years imprisonment

Lewis Breen-Ledger operated under the name ‘Dobby’s Packs’ on Instagram and Snapchat to sell class A and class B drugs. He was arrested in May 2024 after police executed a search warrant at his address in Halesowen, seizing cash, cocaine, cannabis, ketamine, scales, and three zombie knives. Officers also found Harry Potter-themed items, including a rubber mask and figurine. He had been involved in drug supply since age 16 and continued dealing after being released on bail, rebranding his account. Additionally, he caused serious injury by dangerous driving in October 2022, when a woman in her 60s was hit while cycling on Narrow Lane, Halesowen, and by careless driving when a man in his 50s was hit on Dudley Road, Rowley Regis.

Admitted to all drugs offences at an earlier hearing. Also sentenced for two unrelated driving offences. Showed brazen disregard for the law by continuing to deal drugs while on bail.
