**Why it matters:** The sentencing follows a major police operation that disrupted cocaine supply across multiple Suffolk towns, removing significant quantities of class A drugs from local communities.

**The details:** Tigges was sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday for possession with intent to supply class A drugs, being concerned in the supply of cocaine and possession of criminal property.

Police conducted warrants at his Belstead Avenue property and a second address in March 2025, seizing around 600g of cocaine, 1.1kg of cannabis and just under £50,000 cash. He was subsequently charged.

**The big picture:** Investigations established Tigges was supplying cocaine across Ipswich, Stowmarket, Hadleigh and surrounding areas. He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing.

**What's next:** Suffolk Police are encouraging residents to report suspected drug activity through their website at [www.suffolk.police.uk/contact-us/report-something/report-crime](http://www.suffolk.police.uk/contact-us/report-something/report-crime?ref=ipswich.co.uk), by calling 101, or anonymously through Crimestoppers at [www.crimestoppers-uk.org](http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/?ref=ipswich.co.uk) or 0800 555 111.
