Hitchin drug dealer jailed after County Lines investigation
Jones-Ebanks sentenced to three years for offering to supply Class A drugs
A Hitchin man has been sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a County Lines drug gang operating in Hatfield.
Kamarley Jones-Ebanks, 23, who previously lived on Highover Way, Hitchin, was arrested in July 2025 after Hertfordshire Constabulary’s County Lines Investigation Unit carried out enquiries at an address in the town.
Jones-Ebanks appeared at St Albans Crown Court on 29th January, where he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the offer to supply Class A drugs, specifically crack cocaine.

Detective Sergeant Chris Cowell, from Hertfordshire Constabulary’s Serious and Organised Crime Command, said Jones-Ebanks was a key member of the drug line that had been operating in Hatfield.
“This operation is part of a long running investigation into a drug line operating in Hatfield supplying crack cocaine, of which Jones-Ebanks was a key member,” Detective Sergeant Cowell said.
“These drug lines are run by organised crime groups who use violence and commit a whole range of crimes that pose a real threat to the community.
“Our investigations depend on information from members of the public to help us crack down on drug-related crime. Any information you can provide, no matter how small it may seem, could help us to identify and apprehend drug dealers.”
