Man jailed for five years for 'county lines' drug dealing in Norwich
He was involved in the movement of Class A drugs between the capital and Norfolk
A man has been handed a five year prison sentence for running a 'county lines' drug dealing operation in Norwich.
32 year old Tyrone Harris, of Lansdowne Drive in Hackney, London, admitting being concerned in the supply of both crack cocaine and heroin, and possession with intent to supply crack cocaine between 5 May 2022 and 4 October 2022.
He was setnecned at Norwich Crown Court yesterday (January 9).
Harris was arrested on October 4 2022 in London, with police later finding mobile phones and crack cocaine worth between £10,000 and £15,000 in his bedroom.
Analysis of his phone uncovered evidence it was being used to organise the supply of drugs to Norfolk, including to Class A drug users in Norwich.
The phone was used to send bulk text messages to advertise the sale of drugs.
PC Phil Mercer, of Norfolk Police, said: “Supplying controlled drugs of any nature to Norfolk will not be tolerated and will always be investigated.
“Securing a sentence for Harris has significantly disrupted the flow of drugs into Norfolk from London”.
