Whitby cocaine dealer jailed
The offences occurred in Scarborough this year
A man originally from Whitby has been sentenced for dealing cocaine in Scarborough earlier this year.
32-year-old Joshua Charles William Kilpatrick was handed four years in jail at York Crown Court yesterday (Monday 7th November).
He pleaded guilty to being concerned in offering to supply a Class A drug and possessing cocaine with intent to supply.
The offences happened in Scarborough between March and October.
Detective Constable Darrel Temple, the officer in the case, said:
“This is a satisfying outcome for the investigation and demonstrates once again our commitment to clamping down hard on drug dealers and the misery they cause in our communities.
“As ever, we’re very grateful for the vital information that is passed to us by concerned residents via reporting on the North Yorkshire Police website, by calling 101, or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
“If you see something suspicious that could be drugs-related activity, trust your instinct and report it. You can be assured that we will take action.”
