From scammers to drug dealers, here are some of the criminals who were jailed in Norfolk in the week beginning July 22, 2024.
Rhys Redfern, 24
Rhys Redfern, of Buckenham Road in Attleborough, was first arrested in September 2023 on suspicion of arranging the commission of a child sex offence.
He was charged and given a suspended sentence in October 2023 which included a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
Officers later gained access to Redfern's devices in and found indecent images of children.
In a search of his home in January, officers also found a USB stick containing instructions for how to obtain and produce indecent images of children.
Redfern appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to six counts of making an indecent image of a child, three counts of distributing an indecent image of a child, one count of breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and one count of possession of a paedophile manual.
He was jailed for three years.
