Kennington Man Busted for Peddling Crystal Meth
Alexander Parkin, 45, of Kennington Park Road, Lambeth, was sentenced to 21 months behind bars at Kingston Crown Court on Monday, 1 March.
Guilty Plea Over Class A Drug Charges
Parkin previously admitted guilt on 28 October 2020 to possession with intent to supply and being involved in offers to supply a Class A drug — specifically methyl amphetamine, aka crystal meth.
Drugs and Phones Expose Longtime Dealer
Specialist Crime officers raided Parkin’s home on 29 August 2020, uncovering multiple drugs including a hefty 121 grams of crystal meth. He was arrested the next day.
Data from Parkin’s mobile phone confirmed he had been dealing drugs for some time, fuelling the local chemsex scene.
Police Strike Down Chemsex Drug Dealer
“Parkin was clearly holding parties and selling chemsex drugs,” said Detective Inspector Louise Houtmeyers from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command. “We remain committed to preventing the sale and use of illegal drugs and will continue to target those who make money from the misery of others.”
