Last updated 2nd Mar 2021
A drug dealer from Aldershot has been jailed for three years.
21 year old Artinet Tusha, of Ash Road was arrested in September 2020 after police spotted him acting suspiciously in a car on London Road in Camberley.
Officers then executed a search warrant under the Misuse of Drugs Act and found multiple bags of white powder in his underpants, and also stashed in the vehicle.
Over ÂŁ500 in cash, multiple mobile phones and a notebook used to record the deals, were also recovered.
Investigating Officer PC David Oliver, said: “The impact of drugs in our communities can be devastating and result in other associated criminal behaviour, including violence, burglaries and anti-social behaviour.
“This is a great result and hopefully this sentence will help deter other criminals from committing these offences. Class A drugs have a devastating impact on people and communities and they have no place in Surrey.”
Anyone with concerns about drug related crime in their area is urged to call 101 or 999 in an emergency.
Alternatively, suspicions can be raised anonymously through independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
