A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to 10 months in prison for drug dealing in Ipswich. Klajdi Sula was arrested in April after failing to stop for police while cycling.
Why it matters: The case highlights ongoing efforts by Suffolk Police's Sentinel teams to disrupt drug crime and increase visibility across the county.
The big picture:
Sentinel South officers stopped Sula on April 6th in the Gatacre Road area
A search of his Ipswich address found 120 pouches of cannabis and over £4,500 in cash
He admitted to supplying cannabis from 7 March until his arrest
Key details:
Sula appeared before Ipswich Magistrates on 6 August
He was charged with being concerned in the supply of cannabis and possessing proceeds of crime
The court ordered the seized £4,540 to be forfeited to Suffolk Police's fund for combating drug crime
What they're saying: "Our team works hard to keep residents safe and we are pleased that Sula has been jailed for drug dealing and is now out of action," said Sentinel South investigator Rob Ostler.
The bottom line: Suffolk Police's three Sentinel teams aim to proactively disrupt serious and organised criminal activity while increasing police visibility across the county's road network.
