Kinder Egg drug dealer jailed after being caught in Peterborough

Mussa Embalo, 29, was spotted drug dealing by officers from the Community Action Team on patrol in Lincoln Road, Peterborough, on 19 December.

The officers approached and attempted to detain Embalo, but he resisted and a struggle ensued.

After a few minutes the officers managed to subdue him and found 13 wraps of heroin, 24 wraps of crack cocaine, a ‘burner’ phone and almost £1000 in cash.

Emablo denied two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, but was found guilty and jailed for four years at Cambridge Crown Court on Wednesday (16 September).

DC Vicky Speirs said: “I’m pleased the jury have seen Embalo is guilty and have helped put a dangerous man behind bars. He has only just been released for a similar offence so it’s clear he hasn’t learnt his lesson.

“Often drug dealing and violence go hand-in-hand, making it vital that we catch the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”
