Drug Dealer Nabbed with Heroin and Cash in Bournemouth
Joshua Zouaoui, 32, was busted in a Bournemouth car park on January 18, 2024. Police swooped after spotting suspicious behaviour around his vehicle on Glen Fern Road. A search uncovered heroin, crack cocaine, and over £1,700 in cash. The Class A drugs have a street value of between £710 and £1,800.
Quick Court Action Sees Zouaoui Sentenced
Zouaoui was charged with possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply and possession of criminal property. He faced trial at the Old Bailey on January 30, 2026. For the Bournemouth offences alone, he was slapped with a two-year prison sentence.
London Crimes Add to Jail Time – Total 16 Years
That was just the start. Zouaoui’s past caught up with him when additional convictions in London surfaced. These included firearm possession, ammunition possession, supplying a Class B drug, and assisting an offender. These serious charges added 14 more years to his sentence, stacking up to a hefty 16-year jail term, handed down by the judge at the Old Bailey.
