Trio of crack cocaine and heroin dealers jailed after county lines operation across Dorset
Three men have been jailed for supplying crack cocaine and heroin across Dorset and other counties.
Police say they seized £7000's worth of Class A drugs during their investigations into the trio.
At Bournemouth Crown Court, Sadiq Mohamed (37) of Southall, London, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack and heroin between July 2022 and January 2023.
On Friday 6 March, he was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Cabdi Mohamed (27) of Aberdeen in Scotland, admitted the same offence, and received three and a half years behind bars.
Parsa Boustan (23) of Wandsworth, London, was jailed for three years for the same offence.
Detective Constable Ade Stocker, of Dorset Police's Serious Organised Crime Investigation Team, said: “The sentencing of those involved in this county line sends a clear message that this type of criminal activity will not be tolerated in our communities.
“County line operations exploit young and vulnerable people spreading drugs and violence through our communities and towns.
"The sentencing reflects the seriousness of these offences and the harm county drug lines can cause."
