Drug Dealer Jailed After Police Swoop

A drug-dealer, caught with £67,000 worth of cocaine and 50 bullets, has been jailed for five years.

Michael Ade-Ojo, 30, of Sterry Crescent, Dagenham was convicted of seven counts of possession, with intent to supply, Class A and B drugs.

He was stopped by officers from Gooshays Neighbourhoods Policing Team coming out of a flat in Neave Crescent, Harold Hill on October 18, last year.

Officers searched the address and found 638 grams of cocaine and 610 grams of MDEA – known as 'Eve'.

They also seized 50 rounds of 7.65mm ammunition.

A search of Ade-Ojo's address recovered a further nine grams of high purity cocaine, 8.5 kilograms of chemicals used to cut cocaine and 328 grams of MDMA powder.

Sergeant Brad Scott of Gooshays Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "This really was a fantastic piece of policing by the officers concerned.

“A significant amount of drugs have now been taken off the streets of Havering, along with ammunition that had the potential to kill or cause serious injury.

“My officers work hard to keep their ward safe and their actions have shown they are proving successful in the fight against crime."
