Leamington teenager jailed for multiple drugs offences
18 year old Adam Kaminski's crimes spanned 18 months
A Leamington teenager has been jailed after admitting multiple drugs offences over an 18-month period.
18 year old Adam Kaminski has been sentenced to 26 months in a Young Offenders’ Institution by Warwick Crown Court.
He's also been ordered to pay a victim surcharge, forfeit £753 in cash and have drugs paraphernalia destroyed.
What happened?
In March 2023, Warwickshire Police arrested Kaminski in Clemens Street after officers found wraps of white powder hidden in his vape pen.
Two months later, he was stopped and arrested again on Clapham Terrace and found to have five wraps of suspected class A drugs on him.
In May 2024, police were responding to reports of a group being anti-social and using nitrous oxide cannisters on a staircase in Kennedy Square.
Kaminski was found to have a phone, ten bags of suspected cocaine on him and some nitrous oxide nozzles, while further searches saw our officers recover nitrous oxide cannisters from the scene.
Subsequent digital examination of his phone found it contained photos and videos of drugs as well as voice notes recorded prior to his arrest where Kaminski had told an unknown person to discard “a kilo of sniff.”
In November 2024, officers from the Serious Organised Crime Team carried out a warrant at a home in Sydenham – recovering an iPhone, more than £750 in cash, a hidden second phone and a quantity of concealed class A drugs.
Kaminski was charged with:
- Two counts of possessing nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation
- Three counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A – cocaine
- Two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A – crack cocaine
- Being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine
- Being concerned in supply of cocaine
He admitted all nine counts during a previous court appearance.
Detective Constable Gouled Dubad from Warwickshire Police said: “I hope Kaminski’s sentence acts as a deterrent to others and goes some way to reassuring the public we will thoroughly investigate all drugs activity so we can bring offenders to justice and continue to protect our communities.”
