Two drug dealers jailed after being caught in Bournemouth hotel
The pair were supplying drugs into Wiltshire
Two drug dealers have been jailed for running a Class A supply line between Dorset and Wiltshire.
The pair were caught by officers in a Bournemouth hotel room in May this year, and found crack cocaine, heroin, cash and burner phones in their possession.
21 year old Omar Tablieh from Tregonwell Road in Bournemouth and 22 year old David Mbugua from Slough, admitted the offences against them.
They've now each been jailed for three years and nine months, and ordered to pay a victim surcharge for ÂŁ228 each by Swindon Crown Court.
Investigating officer PC Dan Chaventre, from Wiltshire Police, said:
“I’m pleased that both men have been given custodial sentences and a county line feeding Swindon with illegal Class A drugs has been cut off.
“This is the first conviction for both men and I’m pleased that, as dealers of class A drugs, they have been given custodial sentences of a number of years.
“The supply of illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin into communities is a scourge on society and has considerable knock-on impacts.
“It often involves the exploitation of children and vulnerable people, and feeds into gang culture, violent crime and associated antisocial behaviour.
“Wiltshire Police will not tolerate county lines and we will ensure that the drug dealers bringing misery to our county are brought to justice.”
