Drug dealer found with crack cocaine, heroin and £2,000 pair of Louis Vuitton trainers in Peterborough is jailed
A drug dealer who was found with crack cocaine, heroin and a £2,000 pair of Louis Vuitton trainers has been jailed.
Cambridgeshire Police said Hamilton De Jesus, 27, was in bed when officers conducted a warrant at his home in Bringhurst, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, on 21 October.
“Officers found a large cling film bundle containing 15 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin in a black gilet,” a force spokesperson said.
“They also discovered a pair of Louis Vuitton trainers with a receipt for £2,220, a small amount of cannabis and £1310 in cash.
“De Jesus was arrested and went on to admit possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin, as well as possessing criminal property and possession of cannabis.”
On Monday (2 February) at Cambridge Crown Court he was jailed for a year.
DC Hannah Moore said: “De Jesus was selling class A drugs and making enough from it to pay more than £2,000 for a pair of trainers.
“Class A substances like crack cocaine and heroin cause havoc by trapping people in addiction. This often has a knock-on effect, fuelling crimes such as theft, burglary and anti-social behaviour.
“We’re working hard to bring drug dealers before the courts as we aim to make our communities even safer.”
