Prison Pit-Stop For Moped Drug Dealer

The wheels have come off a mobile drug dealer's illegal trade after police caught him selling heroin from his moped.

Andre Campbell, 28, has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.

As well as having 60 wraps of heroin for sale he was also armed with two knives while riding while banned around the suburbs of west London.

He pleaded guilty to possessing the Class A drug, with intent to supply; possession of an offensive weapon; driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.

Isleworth Crown Court heard officers from the Ealing Tasking Team on Thursday, August 12 were conducting mobile patrols around the Greenford area.

Their attention was drawn to Campbell, who was seen dealing drugs on a moped. 

Officers managed to detain him as he made an attempt to get back on his Moped.

PC Exworthy, of Ealing Neighbourhood Tasking Team, said: “This was good old school proactive policing. 

“We were amongst the community in response to complaints about drug dealing, which ultimately led to us coming across Campbell. 

“In light of the current issue we have of knife crime we managed to get a knife carrier behind bars. 

“A thorough and comprehensive investigation let to Campbell being charged and remanded and no longer impacting in our community”.
