Two men who ran county lines drugs networks between London and Kent have been jailed following a Met operation<\/a> that was supported by Kent Police.<\/p>\n

Oludewa Okorosobo, 25, of Flaxman Road, Camberwell was sentenced to three years and four months\u2019 imprisonment for three counts of conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs (heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis) at the Old Bailey on\u00a0 November 22.<\/p>\n

His accomplice, Seif Khalid Hashim, 20 of Dirleton Road, West Ham was sentenced to two years and six months\u2019 imprisonment for three counts of conspiracy to supply a Class A drug (heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis) at an earlier hearing on October 21.<\/p>\n

Both defendants were made subject to a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) for five years.<\/p>\n

The order restricts them from being in a public place together, entering a designated area of the Medway area of Kent, being in possession of more than two mobile phone SIM cards registered in their name, and being together in public in a group of two or more acting in a manner likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress or causing another to fear for their safety.<\/p>\n

Detectives from the Met\u2019s Violent Crime Taskforce (VCTF), acting on intelligence, stopped Okorosobo\u2019s car in Denmark Hill on the morning of February 28.<\/p>\n

Okorosobo was inside with Hashim and a third man. Detectives arrested all three on suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.<\/p>\n

They recovered Okorosobo\u2019s mobile phone, which they believed was being used to run a county line \u2013 a drug supply service \u2013 called \u201cFreddie\u201d between London and Medway in Kent.<\/p>

Detectives recovered a second mobile phone from the back seat of the car. Digital forensic analysis of this later identified messages that showed it was being used to run a second county lines network by the name of \u201cSam\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe phones had been used to send hundreds of messages at a time, advertising the availability of drugs to potential buyers from October 2017. The men used coded language in many of the messages, which we were able to decipher to prove what they were doing,\u201d said Investigating Officer, Detective Constable Ray Sekalongo, of the VCTF.<\/p>\n

After arresting the duo, Met detectives searched Okorosobo\u2019s address from which they recovered a pack of heroin. They also searched Hashim\u2019s address, inside which they found six packs of heroin and cocaine. The drugs had a total street value of \u00a33,460.<\/p>\n

Hashim pleaded guilty to both charges at the Inner London Crown Court on July 5. Okorosobo pleaded guilty to both charges at the Old Bailey on July 24.<\/p>\n

A third male, aged 17, who was subsequently arrested, was found not guilty of two counts of conspiracy to supply a Class A drug.<\/p>\n

Sekalongo added: \u201cCounty lines activity has far-reaching consequences for communities. Violence, child trafficking and, of course, drug addiction are all linked to these toxic networks. By putting Okorosobo and Hashim before the courts, we have ensured that there are two fewer people bringing this kind of misery to Kent.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
