Officers later conducted a search of his home and discovered large quantities of cash.

Fitzjohn, of Deerfield Road in March, today (Wednesday November 9) pleaded guilty to possession of heroin with intent to supply at Peterborough Crown Court.

He was sentenced to three years in prison. More than £7,000 in cash was also confiscated from Fitzjohn as a result of the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Detective Constable Chris Smith said: “We have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drugs and our priority is to remove dealers. I hope this sends a clear message to those who think this kind of behaviour is acceptable.”
