Drug Dealer Caught By Gang Police

Gangbusting cops pounced on a drug dealer being driven around north-west London, who is now starting a three-year prison sentence.

Brent Gangs Unit pulled over a blue Audi containing Romarne Young, 24, of Stafford Road, West Kilburn on August 27, last year.

He was sentenced at Harrow Crown Court for offering to supply crack cocaine and heroin and possession of cocaine.

At approximately 7.40pm, officers patrolling Albert Road, Kilburn spotted the car acting suspiciously.

When officers stopped the vehicle, Young was found inside with two mobile phones in his hands.

The vehicle was searched and cocaine was found under the driver’s seat.

The 24-year-old driver of the vehicle attempted to flee the scene but was detained.

When the driver was searched he was found to have concealed cannabis in his mouth and mobile phone and was later jailed for eight weeks.

Text messages on the mobile phones of both men identified them as supplying drugs.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Jo Trist from the Brent Gangs Unit said: “I am pleased with the sentence given.

“Young played a significant role in the supply of drugs across London.

“I hope the sentence handed down will give him adequate time to reflect on his criminal activity.”
