Police intelligence has suggested for some time that Mr Matthew Boyle is involved in drug distribution in Portsmouth particularly in the Southsea area. Mr Matthew Boyle worked as a DJ in Portsmouth clubs during his undergraduate studies and he has continued to keep close links with venues such as pubs and clubs where young people congregate. Mr Matthew Boyle, born on the 4th of October 1992 and known as Mat, is originally from the Greater Manchester Area. He moved to Portsmouth to study for a BA degree in Art and Music in the school of Creative Technology.
According to a police interview and records, he received an inheritance in 2009 from his grandmother and spent it on buying flats to rent to students. He himself lives in his own flat, in SOUTH SEA PORTSMOUTH flat 23, block 2, level 3,and rents some of its rooms to students. He has a girlfriend called Samantha who is 21 years old and studies at Portsmouth University doing a BSc in Chemistry. She has also a brother, Alexander, who studies computer science in the school of computing. The interview of the police indicated that Alexander and Matthew are not in good terms. Matthew has a flirting nature with girls and Alexander, being the brother of Samantha, disapproves it. In general, Mr Matthew Boyle describes himself as a 'record producer' and 'talent-spotter' and has an office in his flat, which may be being used as a front for money laundering from illegitimate income such as drugs. His girlfriend sometimes stays at his flat and she has full access to his computers and office according to information from the police interview record.
Mr Boyle became a suspect to the Hampshire Drug Offences Unit when they received reliable intelligence from Manchester Crime Unit after the arrest of a drug dealer, named Anthony Dealer, who had the phone number of Mr Matthew Boyle in his contact list. Mr Anthony Dealer admitted to the police during the interview that he is a close friend of Mr Matthew Boyle.
Mr Matthew Boyle does not have a criminal record. However, the police believe he is a supplier of class A drugs, predominantly Ecstasy tabs, and class B drugs, Cannabis Resin. Mr Matthew Boyle's premises have been put under surveillance for several weeks.The intelligence source, after watching the movement of Mr Matthew Boyle, suggested that he might have more connections in the Greater Manchester area than first thought, such as meeting people in pubs and clubs for possible drug distribution.
Furthermore, the surveillance source revealed that he lived on his own and his girlfriend sometimes stays at his place at the weekends. He also appears to receive regular visits from a much younger woman, believed to be a student or a relative of one of his tenants, Jack. Mr Boyle regularly attends pubs, clubs and events in Southsea where it is believed that drugs are being sold.
On Tuesday the 29th of October, after an anonymous phone call to Hampshire Crime Unit regarding Mr Matthew Boyle's behaviour, the intelligence source believed that he might be in possession and production of indecent material related to child pornography. There were some suggestions that the unidentified younger woman visiting Mr Boyle's flat may be underage too. The Senior Investigating Officer, DCI Holmes, obtained a search warrant, then immediately raided Mr Boyle's flat and office, and arrested him under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, Section 17, 18 & 19, which was authorized, and took place on the 8th of November 2022 at 15:00 hours.
