Drug Dealer Caught Delivering Heroin And Crack

A bike-riding mobile heroin and crack cocaine dealer has been jailed for two-and-half years.

Igors Sartakovs, 35, of The Avenue, Ealing was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court for possession, with intent to supply, the drugs.

On Friday, November 13 2020, officers from the West Area Violence Suppression Unit were on patrol in Ealing.

They spotted a number of people walking into an alleyway. 

As officers were speaking to the group Sartakovs approached on a pedal cycle. 

He was detained and found to be in possession of twenty-one wraps of crack cocaine and heroin ready to supply. 

Further drugs were found at his home and evidence of drug dealing was found in text messages on his phone arranging to meet the group in the alleyway to supply drugs. 

PC Taylor, of the Violence suppression unit, said: “This is another example of great police work using local knowledge to stop and arrest a drug dealer. 

“Drugs have been shown to be linked to the violence plaguing our streets in London and the UK as a whole. 

“We will do anything we can to disrupt this practice, which takes advantage of vulnerable users and funds gangs through the sale of drugs on our streets. 

“This is just one of many that we have imprisoned since the launch of the West Area Violence Suppression Unit back in May 2020 and we will relentlessly seek out and arrest criminals by using a range of tactics available to us”.
