TWO teenagers have been locked up for drugs supply crimes committed at the Kendal Calling music festival.

Kane Joseph Morgan and Leon John Carroll, both aged 18, were sentenced together at Carlisle Crown Court on Friday for separate offences at last year's event near Penrith, Cumbria.

Morgan - who was 17 at the time - admitted being concerned in the supply of class A ecstasy and class B ketamine.

The court heard he was arrested at the site last July. His his mobile phone was seized and examined. Damning texts were found, and "debtors' list" was located in the notes section.

Prosecutor Nicholas Flanagan said: "The Crown say there is clear, demonstrated evidence he was involved in the supply of both of the two drugs."

Carroll, meanwhile, admitted possessing ecstasy and ketamine, and attempting to possess the former with intent to supply

He had been at the event volunteering as a "sherpa". Bags of white powder and 31 tablets were taken from him. Carroll believed the tablets were ecstasy, but it emerged these were another substance.

He had, in a text, conceded the tablets - bearing a Superman logo - might be "dodge". Mr Flanagan said the teen had carried out a Google search which showed "they were linked to a number of deaths from taking them".

"He tries to reduce the price due to concerns about what they are," the prosecutor said.

Both teens were in full-time work and had taken "full responsibility for their actions", the court heard.

Philip Andrews, defending both, said: "These young men have been behaving in a way which the court will find quite unacceptable.

"They are just young, silly men who were there for a good time and got involved in this stupidity."

But appeals for suspended sentences were rejected by Recorder Kevin Grice.

Morgan, of Dalebrook Close, Little Lever, Bolton, was sent to a young offenders' institution for 21 months. Carroll, of Hawarden Street, Bolton, received an 18-month term.

Recorder Grice told them: "If you concern yourself with the supply of class A drugs to others at a music festival you must lose your liberty.

"That approach is not only necessary as a punishment for you but to deter others who, in your position, might be tempted at this year's festival or in successive years to do the same."
