County lines drug dealer from Peterborough is jailed for six years
A county lines drug dealer from Peterborough has been jailed for being involved in supplying cocaine.
Tremayne Clarke (29) was linked to a phone that was being used to offer to sell cocaine as part of the “TJ” drug line.
Analytical work by detectives showed that Clarke was controlling the drugs line between December 1, 2024 and March 31, last year.
A court was told that on April 4 an Audi A6 car failed to stop for officers in Peterborough and was later found abandoned in Field Walk.
A broken burner style mobile phone that was found in the vehicle was linked to the drug line.
Clarke, who was arrested on May 28, admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
He was jailed for six years at a hearing at Cambridge Crown Court on October 30.
Afterwards, DC Yeli Zaicevs said: “Clarke initially denied being concerned in supplying cocaine but changed his plea in the face of the overwhelming evidence.
“Cocaine can trap people in addiction and ruin lives, as well as being associated with other crimes such as violence and anti-social behaviour.
“We will continue to do all we can to identify those involved in supplying these substances and bring them before the courts.”
