A Bury St Edmunds man has been jailed for almost three years after police seized a locked safe containing cocaine and cash during a raid.
42 year old Darren Aldis of Mortimer Road admitted to possession with intent to supply class A drugs and possession of criminal property at Ipswich Crown Court, where he was jailed for 34 months.
Police raided his home on March 1, recovering the safe, which contained around ÂŁ6,000 worth of cocaine, as well as ÂŁ1,000 in cash.
DI Greg Moore said: “This was a great bit of teamwork between the East and West Serious Crime Disruption team and the local neighbourhood response officers to secure this conviction.
"This outcome should serve as a reminder to any drug dealers considering Suffolk for their criminal business, it will be only a matter of time before the inevitable happens and we arrest, charge and convict you.”
