Police in Devon have seized £1.3m in cryptocurrency from a man jailed for selling drugs online.

Ryan Coleman, 36, from Torquay, who admitted to supplying cocaine, ecstasy, cannabis and ketamine, was jailed for 15 years on Friday at Exeter Crown Court.

Devon and Cornwall Police said, in total, he sold about 80kg of Class A and B drugs which were worth more than an estimated street value of £1m in 18,500 transactions.

Senior investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Sam Smoothy said the force was "continually advancing its investigative methods to track, trace, and disrupt criminal networks".
