A teenager banned from entering Norfolk has been warned he faces a “lengthy jail sentence” for drug dealing. 

Ethan Grashion, 18, was caught with more than 50 wraps of class A drugs which he was selling to users in Great Yarmouth. 

Norwich Magistrates’ Court was told his mobile phone seized when he was arrested on April 16 contained messages about the supply of drugs.

Grashion, of Rowley Regis, near Birmingham, pleaded guilty to two charges over the possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and diamorphine, a narcotic analgesic used as illicit street heroin.

The teenager denied making threats to kill over a video found on his phone which referred to a “snitch”. 

Rima Begum, prosecuting, said the starting point for the drugs offences was four and half years imprisonment. 

Richard Mann, mitigating, said he had been lured into coming to Norfolk with promises of making easy money. 

The teenager denies he was the one making threats in the video, he added.

He was given bail banning him from Norfolk until he stands trial and is sentenced at Norwich Crown Court.
