Totnes man found with £18,500 of Class A drugs is jailed

Max Ogilvie, 31, from Totnes, appeared at Exeter Crown Court on Friday, where he was handed a 30-month prison sentence for drug supply offences.

Ogilvie's luck ran out on Seymour Road, Totnes on 23 June 2026 when he was spotted by an off-duty PCSO, who recognised him as wanted for other offences.

A spokesperson for Totnes Police said: "A subsequent search of his vehicle uncovered over £18,500 worth of heroin and cocaine destined for our streets. A thorough investigation by the Totnes Neighbourhood Officers ensured a robust case was built to secure today's conviction.

"Class A drugs ruin lives and cause harm across our communities. This case goes to show that whether our officers and PCSO's are on shift or off-duty, we are always keeping an eye out to keep Totnes safe."
