A man has appeared in court and admitted supplying Class A drugs between London and Eastbourne.
Caylan Park, 22, of Wharton Close, Brent, pleaded guilty at Lewes Crown Court on Monday, January 31 to the supply of Class A drugs in Eastbourne as part of a county lines operation called the ‘Malik Line’. He was sentenced to two years in prison, which was suspended for 18-months.
Officers from both Sussex Police and the Metropolitan Police worked together on the operation, which began in October of last year when the latter raided an address in Brent, London, where they seized drug-line phones, £1410 of crack cocaine and heroin, £330 in cash and a large knife.
Detective Constable David Brown said:
"Class ‘A’ supply has a large negative impact on local people & local services. This investigation demonstrated that we will work effectively with our partners in the Metropolitan Police to target and disrupt those responsible for county lines drug dealing."
