Drugs and Disguised Taser Seized in Ramsgate Flat Raid
Police swooped on a Ramsgate flat in October 2018, uncovering a stash of drugs and a disguised weapon. Alan Stuart, 38, was hauled in and later admitted to possessing a hidden Taser.
Massive Drug Haul Leads to Jail
At 1 Crown Court on 13 October 2020, Stuart was found guilty of possession with intent to supply cocaine, MDMA, and cannabis. The courtroom handed down a hefty four-year jail term, sending a clear message to dealers on Queen Street and beyond.
Raid Reveals Dealer’s Arsenal
The warrant, executed under the Misuse of Drugs Act on 1 October 2018, recovered:
- 6.5 grams of cocaine
- 20 MDMA tablets
- Over 45 grams of cannabis
- Cash, dealer’s list, and scales
- A torch that was actually a disguised Taser
Police Crackdown on Drug Crime
PC Colin Glover, Kent Police’s investigating officer, said: “Kent Police is determined to shut down and disrupt drug dealing networks at every possible opportunity.”
“The drugs Stuart intended to sell would have sparked more crime and misery for users and their families. We’re pleased to have removed a dangerous weapon from circulation. The tough sentence shows the courts mean business in tackling drug dealers and weapon carriers.”
