Drug dealer jailed after officers stop car in Huntingdon
A search of his home also uncovered cannabis plants with a street value of ÂŁ120k
A man is starting a jail sentence of four years and eight months for dealing drugs in Huntingdon.
Neighbourhood officers were on patrol in the town on 26th February when they spotted a blue Audi, which they knew was linked to drug dealing, parked up in Ambury Road.
Inside they found 23-year-old Kesti Disha along with cannabis, cocaine and mobile phones.
Officers then searched his home in Saunders Close where they found further cannabis, cocaine and drug paraphernalia as well as 142 cannabis plants growing in the loft.
In total the team seized cannabis worth up to ÂŁ1,400, cocaine worth ÂŁ820 and the cannabis plants with a street value of up to ÂŁ119,000.
At Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday (6/6) Disha was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and cannabis and production of cannabis.
Besjan Disha, 27, of Saunders Close, Huntingdon, who was also found in the property with the cannabis was sentenced to nine months, suspended for 18 months, after pleading guilty to production of cannabis. He must also carry out 150 hours unpaid work.
PC Chester Lewis, from the Huntingdon neighbourhood team, said: “Thanks to the proactive stop of this vehicle, we’ve removed a significant amount of drugs from the streets of Huntingdonshire and put another drug dealer behind bars.
“We urge members of the public to continue being the eyes and ears of our communities and report suspicious activity around drug dealing to us.”
