Armed Drug Dealer's Police Chase Through Gardens

An armed drug dealer, who leapt from a high window when police raided his home,is starting a 14-and-half year prison sentence.

Heavily-tattooed Jamie Allen, 29, was chased over garden fences and into a field, where police caught him and took him to hospital for treatment on injuries caused by the jump.

Allen, of Hyde Road, Croydon was found guilty of possession, with intent, to sell Class A drugs, possession of criminal property and possession of firearms.

Detective Constable Hannah Worsley, said: “The long sentence handed down by the judge clearly demonstrates how seriously the courts take violent drug dealers and the danger they pose to communities.

“Anyone who thinks it is okay to deal drugs and carry guns would be wise to consider this.”

Allen’s home was raided by police at 6.30am on Thursday, April 25, after a warrant was issued by Uxbridge Crown Court. 

As officers entered the address, he jumped out of a window while attempting to evade capture.

He was eventually caught at 7.45am after a lengthy chase. 

An abundance of drugs was found in his bedroom during the search of the address, including cocaine and heroin, along with £40,000 in cash.

A sawn-off shotgun, a revolver, a handgun, a stun gun and ammunition were also found in various bags throughout his bedroom.

Allen, who had injured himself during his jump from the window, was taken to hospital where he remained for five days before being discharged and taken into custody at a Croydon police station.
