Ipswich drug dealer handed over 5 years in prison
He was involved in selling Class A drugs in the town
An Ipswich drug dealer has been jailed for five years and six months - for supplying Class A drugs in the town.
31 year old Dwayne Farrell of no fixed address was sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court yesterday (August 25) after admitting to running a business selling crack cocaine and heroin earlier this year.
He was arrested in February when police were called to Waterford Road to check on a vulnerable person.
They found Farrell at the address. He was arrested as we was wanted on recall to prison.
He was found to be in possession of several mobile phones linked to drug dealing. Farrell was found to be sending out messages to local Class A users in an attempt to drum up business.
Detective Sergeant Daniel Steel of the Serious Crime Disruption Unit in Ipswich said:
“Farrell decided to operate a county line for a sustained period of time at the start of 2022 in order to supply crack cocaine and heroin to vulnerable people in Ipswich.
"He was caught following the analysis of telephone communications data.
“Hopefully, following the sentence handed to him at Ipswich Crown Court, he can start to appreciate that this type of offending will not be tolerated.
"Those that deal Class A drugs on our streets will be relentlessly pursued by police with no hiding place, as it is acknowledged that criminality of this type causes misery within our communities.”
