Drug dealer who brought crack and heroin to Scarborough jailed
22-year-old Dakari Brown ran a drugs line from his home in Huddersfield
A man who shipped crack cocaine and heroin from his home in Huddersfield to Scarborough has been jailed for more than five-and-a-half years.
Dakari Brown, 22, admitted supplying cocaine and crack cocaine at Leeds Crown Court, following his arrest earlier this year.
North Yorkshire Police said he sent dealers to the North Yorkshire coast, where they would stay with Class A drug dealers, in a practice known as "cuckooing".
Detective Constable Darrel Temple, of the Expedite Team based at Scarborough, said:
“Class A drugs wreck lives and wreck communities. That’s why we’re relentless in our pursuit of offenders such as Dakari Brown who think they can operate with impunity across policing borders and into our neighbourhoods.
“As we have repeatedly demonstrated, we’re watching their every move and waiting for the right time to pounce.
“Through this proactive policing approach, we’re taking the fight to drug dealers and doing all we can to drive drug-related crime out of our area.”
