A man and a woman from Lowestoft have been jailed for a total of six years after admitting to being involved in the sale of Class A drugs.
44 year old Dean Francis, of Jenkins Green and 39 year old Jane Hucheson, of Briarwood Road, were monitored by police between January 2020 and March 2021.
Both were arrested during drugs raids on their homes the following month.
The pair admitted to being concerned in the supply of heroin, while Hucheson also admitted possession with intent to supply drugs, possession of cannabis and absconding whilst on bail.
T/DCI Matt Bodmer of Suffolk Police said: “The undercover work conducted by the Scorpion drug team revealed a drug dealing operation that was serving members of the Lowestoft community."
"To unpick their criminal behaviour, took a great deal of patience and time as demonstrated by the different tactics we deployed, but ultimately generated the key evidence to secure these convictions.
"Such activity was causing a real problem to the local community in terms of their drug dealing so to see them off the streets and in jail for three years demonstrates that the police and partners will work together to reduce such anti-social behaviour”
