Man given 33-month prison sentence for supplying drugs

A man has been jailed for 33 months after pleading guilty to supplying drugs.

Toby Drane, (pictured above), of no-fixed-abode but from the Newmarket area, was sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on Thursday, April 13, after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine between February 9 and March 14 this year.

The 26-year-old was arrested on March 15 following intelligence that suggested that he was responsible for drug dealing in the Newmarket area, using a mobile phone to communicate directly to drug users.

Detective Sergeant Sarah Wilkins, of the East/West Serious Crime Disruption Team, said: “Drugs cause so much harm within our communities and it is therefore of the upmost importance to us that we find out who is dealing these drugs and gather the evidence to ensure they are successfully prosecuted.”

If you suspect drug dealing is taking place in your area or see anything suspicious or out of place, please tell police. You don’t have to be certain, just concerned.
