Two men have been jailed for a combined total of eight years for being involved in 'county lines' drug dealing in Norwich.

Both were convicted of conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine.

Adegoke Dada, aged 21 and of Lancaster Road in London was handed five years in prison.

Leslie Menka, aged 21, and of Finch Mews in London was sentenced to three years behind bars.

Both were carred in August 2022 in London, with police seizing £2,000 in cash as well as mobile phones and a train ticket from Norwich to Colchester.

Analysis of the phones revealed the pair were involved in the movement of Class A drugs between the capital and Norfolk.

PC Phil Mercer, of Norfolk Police, said: “Norfolk Police is committed to tackling County Drugs Lines and disrupting the networks responsible for bringing harm on our communities.

"We will continue to target those who seek to profit from the exploitation and vulnerability of others.”
