A drug dealer from Peterborough who ran a “sophisticated criminal enterprise” supplying class A drugs across Cambridgeshire is now behind bars.

Police raided the home of Mohammed Ahmed, in Hawthorn Road, Dogsthorpe, Peterborough, on 17 July following intelligence he was operating as a county lines dealer running two lines known as K Line 1 and K Line 2.

A spokesperson for Cambs Police said: “Officers searching his home found more than £17,000 in cash, along with two mobile phones, one which was found in Ahmed’s pocket and the other outside the property between a wall and a bush.

“Investigations into the mobile phone usage revealed he was responsible for running both K lines.”

At Cambridge Crown Court on Friday (31 October), 27-year-old Ahmed was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

Detective Constable Jenny Hargreaves, who investigated, said: “Ahmed was running a sophisticated criminal enterprise supplying drugs across the county. Dealers like him often target vulnerable people and manage drugs lines for the sole purpose of financial gain. County lines bring misery to our communities in the form of drug dealing, exploitation and violence and will not be tolerated.”
