A WORCESTER cocaine dealer has been sentenced to almost three years in prison after being convicted yesterday (Wednesday, May 21).
Abdul Mumin, 31, of Northfield Street, Worcester was targeted by South Worcestershire Proactive CID in March as part of an operation targeting drug dealing lines in and around the city.
Mumin was arrested on March 27 on suspicion or running a deal line. He was found in possession of mobile phones and drugs and assaulted a police officer at the time of his arrest as he attempted to destroy evidence.
Yesterday at court he was convicted of possession with intent to supply a class A drug – cocaine for which he was sentenced to 30 months.
He was further sentenced to two months concurrently for assault by beating of an emergency worker and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £187.
DC Olivia Sheward, of South Worcester Proactive CID, said: “We hope today’s sentence shows we will not tolerate drug dealing in our county and the harm it reaps upon our communities.
“We will always act upon intelligence, and will continue to disrupt, target and apprehend those who are involved dealing drugs.”
