A CONVICTED drug dealer who was mocked in national newspapers for his long neck when a police appeal for him was issued two months ago has handed himself into police.

Sussex Police issued an appeal with a reward of £500 for Kyle Gilmore in January after he breached the terms of his licence.

The 23-year-old from Hastings was jailed for two years and eight months on April 27, 2015 for possession of drugs with intent to supply and released on licence on July 25, 2016.

Gilmore, who also featured in a Valentine’s Day appeal by the force for a date with their long-lost loves last month, has now handed himself over to authorities in Hampshire and has been sent back to jail for eight months.
