WATCH as man is arrested as he deals drugs in Peterborough
A man who was spotted drug dealing by CCTV operators in Peterborough has been jailed.
Cambridgeshire police say that Ladislav Cehelnik (46) was in Lincoln Road, Millfield, when he attracted the attention of staff reviewing CCTV in the area.
Police say that the CCTV operators believed he was dealing drugs and called police and he was arrested.
A police spokesperson said: “When Cehelnik, of no known address, was searched officers found 12 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin, as well as more than £150 in cash.
“They also seized a phone and found messages consistent with drug dealing.”
The incident happened at about 1am on June 7 last year
Cehelnik was jailed for two years at Cambridge Crown Court on June 19 having admitted possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin at a previous hearing.
Afterwards, DC Emily Richardson said: “This was an excellent spot by the CCTV operators, and I’d like to thank them for being proactive in calling us.
“Crack cocaine and heroin ruin lives by trapping people in addiction.
"They can also be linked to associated crime such as anti-social behaviour, violence and theft.
“Drug dealers prey on vulnerable people and we will continue our work bring them to justice.”
