Brazen drug dealer caught after boasting on social media of his bling lifestyle with Lamborghinis, Rolexes and at Salt Bae’s restaurant is jailed
A drug dealer who flaunted his lavish lifestyle on Instagram with Rolex watches, luxury cars and extravagant meals has been jailed after police foiled a cocaine supply operation.
Jordan Woolmer, 28, filled his social media account with images of designer clothes, expensive jewelery and high-end vehicles while secretly running a lucrative drugs network, the court heard.
But after a four-year investigation, detectives busted his criminal enterprise and uncovered the true source of the wealth he was so keen to flaunt online.
Among the images posted on Instagram were photos of Woolmer posing behind the wheel of a Lamborghini and in a Bentley wearing a luxury Rolex watch.
Other photos showed celebrity chef Salt Bae spending more than £1,200 dining at Nusr-Et restaurant in London and paying the bill in cash.
Last Friday, Woolmer, from Northamptonshire, was jailed for 10-and-a-half years at Northampton Crown Court after being found guilty of supplying cocaine and cannabis.
The court heard how officers first began taking action against him after he was stopped in Northampton in 2022.
Woolmer was traveling in a BMW with co-accused Kacper Burzynski when police pulled the vehicle over in Victoria Gardens.

He flaunted his luxurious lifestyle on Instagram with photos of Rolex watches, luxury cars, and extravagant meals.
During the search, 450 grams of cannabis, 83 grams of cocaine and 7 thousand pounds in cash were seized.
As detectives delved deeper into his activities, they uncovered more evidence linking him to large-scale drug dealing.
His Rolex watch worth £12,500, £20,000 from a rented property and a collection of designer clothes from his home were seized.
On 20 April 2023, Woolmer’s fingerprints were found on more than £14,000 of cash found at a property in Leicester.
Just four days later, after his fingerprints were found on the packaging, forensic evidence linked him to 500 grams of cocaine found in a warehouse in Rutland.
Police arrested him again on May 24, 2024, after officers seized 500 grams of cocaine, £16,000 in cash and more designer clothes at two properties in Burton Latimer.
At the end of the investigation, officers seized £57,465 in cash, a kilogram of cocaine, 500 grams of cannabis and designer clothing worth £34,680.
Detective Constable James Roe, of Northamptonshire Police, said: ‘No one should be able to benefit from ill-gotten gains.
‘Jordan Woolmer thought he could live a life beyond his legal means and couldn’t stop boasting about his luxurious lifestyle on his Instagram account.
‘This has been a lengthy but thorough investigation to bring Woolmer to justice and we are pleased that the sentence imposed reflects the seriousness of the offense and the dedication and attention to detail our team has brought to this case.’
In addition to the 10-and-a-half year prison sentence, Woolmer was sentenced to a further year and 10 months for breaching a suspended sentence order and a further three months for driving while disqualified and without a licence.
He was also banned from driving for seven years and three months.
Burzynski admitted being concerned in the supply of Class B drugs and criminal possession. He was sentenced to ten months’ imprisonment, suspended for two years.
