Dealer who sold drugs on Kev Line caught out with silly mistake
A dealer who helped run a notorious drugs line in Bradford has been locked up. Martin Tiser, 23, was caught out by officers working under "Operation Keyside" when he topped up a phone known for being involved in the "Kev Line," Bradford Crown Court heard on Thursday, July 10. Prosecutor Alisha Kaye said: "Operation Keyside is an investigation into county lines drug dealing through the use of mobile phones in the Bradford area. It began in March this year. "Officers identified the phone lines that were active in the Bradford area supplying class A drugs. One of the lines sending tests was the Kev line. Cell data obtained from February 2025 showed a number of calls and bulk texts [from that number.] It was linked to a number of drug user's phones. Messages were sent advertising drugs in April and May."

Best deals." The court heard that on May 3 this year, just after midnight, a top up voucher for the phone was purchased from a shop. CCTV footage showed Tiser buying the voucher. Ms Kaye said an investigation prior to his arrest found the drugs line was active close to his address. The prosecutor said: "He was arrested on 28th May, just after 5am. A search warrant was executed at his address. He was found in the attic bedroom. He confirmed he was living and sleeping there. Officers searched his house and his mobile phone and the 'Kev line' phone was found on him. He produced £1,000 in cash and he was escorted outside and was stopped outside as he waiting for officers and was found to be in possession of 29 wraps of crack cocaine, and 13 wraps of heroin, which had an estimated street value of £420. A search was carried out at the property and officers found more cash, totalling more than £1,000, along with kitchen scales and grip sealed bags. In a shed in Tiser's garden, as well as a "bull breed" dog, officers discovered crack cocaine worth an estimated £15,310 and cocaine worth an estimated £2,220, as well as a small set of scales. Ms Kaye said that Tiser, of Parkside Road in Bradford, had previous convictions for driving while over the prescribed drug limit, and possession of cannabis. Mitigating, Safter Salam, said: "He came here unable to speak a word of English. He struggled to assimilate himself and challenges that this defendant faced were not just linguistic. He grew up in a deprived area, being isolated socially and emotionally. He was highly vulnerable to exploitation. "He was preyed upon and manipulated by other, more sophisticated, individuals. His conduct from this offending arises from coercion, fear and psychological manipulation. His account is consistent with exploitation. This offending took place when he was unsupported and desperate. It is not accepted he had a leading role or significant role." Recorder Hawks jailed Tiser for four years for two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, and two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs. He said: "You're only 23 and you have a conviction in relation to drugs, but it was simply possession of cannabis, but it was plain you were taking drugs, and it may be because of that you got involved in these offences." Tiser will have to serve up to half of his sentence in custody before being released on licence.

A newcomer State Police head looks to salvage his agency's reputation
Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up Noble, who was Advertisement 'I believe the goal here is to steer a course for the Massachusetts State Police and to do that with transparency, that upholds high standards and deepens our connection to the community we serve,' Noble told the editorial board. 'I'm committed to this role and to being transparent in it. After all, the State Police is a public institution.' Advertisement To that end, Noble, who was previously second-in-command of the New Jersey State Police, recently announced a host of goals, policies, and programs aimed at refurbishing the agency's tarnished reputation. 'We have to resolve to operate at the highest standard,' he said, 'And we are going to instill a culture to do that.' Some of that starts with the training of those who will eventually join its ranks. Noble named a new leader for the agency's training academy in May and at the same time announced that the first class to be admitted after Delgado-Garcia's death would be divided into two smaller units — one with 124 cadets that started training in May and a second with 130 recruits that will start later this summer, according to a State Police spokesperson. 'A smaller student-to-instructor ratio simply works better,' Noble said. 'It allows a more hands-on direct teaching and training experience.' That kind of experience would likely improve what has been an atrocious attrition rate — one that hit At the same time, Noble commissioned the International Association of Chiefs of Police to conduct an independent assessment of the academy. That assessment will focus 'on the relevance, efficacy, and safety of the paramilitary training model currently in use,' according to the department. And the The boxing ring remains closed, as it has been since Delgado-Garcia's death. But its relevance and the culture it represented within the academy is now all under a microscope as are the physical and mental 'costs and benefits of communal living arrangements' under which cadets are currently trained. Are those arrangements really beneficial for the mental and physical well-being of cadets? Advertisement And while the academy awaits the results of that review — expected by the end of the year — academy staff 'have completed an hour-by-hour review of recruits' experiences at the Academy' looking for some kind of balance in a rigorous program. Following on that, Noble announced a wider ranging reform plan, including an emphasis on what he called 'checks and balances' within the system. 'I think the State Police have the capacity to police ourselves,' he added. The Excellence Initiative, Noble Toward that end, the plan includes: an advanced training program for investigators already attended by some 500 members of the force; a still-in-progress 'quality assurance unit' to evaluate those investigations (and perhaps catch the next Proctor before he goes off the rails); and a new body camera audit unit to 'help ensure trooper conduct aligns with departmental standards and public expectations.' Better community outreach is another pillar of Noble's program, which now includes a Community Affairs office, headed by a civilian appointed earlier this year. Locals and visitors alike will cheer if that office succeeds in getting state troopers to stop barking at travelers at Logan airport for the crimes of heading for the wrong airport check-in line or hugging too long at the curb. Advertisement Troopers do, sad to say, have a certain reputation to overcome — aside from the more major sins uncovered by the Read trial. So Noble has a difficult job ahead of him — supporting his troops, which includes efforts to support their physical and mental well-being while doing what is an increasingly difficult job. But the colonel's job isn't made any easier by the still unresolved case of Delgado-Garcia, which surely weighs like a stone on the agency and its ability to attract the next generation of troopers. For all his efforts, Noble's quest to bring transparency to the agency he heads now stalls at the attorney general's door. The people of this state, not to mention the family of Delgado-Garcia, and every would-be trooper who follows him, deserve answers. Editorials represent the views of the Boston Globe Editorial Board.
