South London Duo Jailed for County Lines Drug Trade to Hampshire
Two Musicians Turned Drug Dealers Behind Bars
Two South London-based drug dealers have been locked up for running a county lines drug operation into Basingstoke, Hampshire. Cassiel Wuta-Ofei, 27, from Priory Crescent, SE19, and Malki Martin, 24, from Fortrose Gardens, SW2, were sentenced to a combined nine years behind bars.
Guilty Pleas and Convictions for Crack and Heroin Supply
Martin admitted his part at Inner 1 Crown Court back in April. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine from February to August 2018. He also confessed to involvement in two more county lines running drugs in Newbury, Berkshire, and Farnborough, Hampshire, later that year and into 2019.
He landed a hefty four-and-a-half-year sentence. Wuta-Ofei was found guilty on 21 October for conspiracy to supply heroin and crack between February and May 2018. He also got four and a half years inside.
Strict Orders to Stop Further Crime
Both men were slapped with Criminal Behaviour Orders banning them from owning unregistered SIM cards for eight years, aiming to cut off their drug dealing communication lines.
