Drug Dealers Nabbed in Graveyard Sting
Shamarke Albert-Jordan and Angela Coles were caught red-handed in April during a proactive Rugby patrol targeting drug supply.
Undercover detectives spotted a drug deal in the graveyard off Clifton Road and swooped to make the arrests. Coles was followed back to a property on Cambridge Street where officers found the pair and seized 81 wraps of crack and heroin, along with cash and mobile phones.
Jail Time for Supply Charges
Albert-Jordan, 18, from Bromley, Kent, was sentenced on May 18 to three years in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine, acquiring criminal property, and involvement in drug supply.
Coles, 32, of Rugby, also received three years last month after admitting to possession with intent to supply controlled drugs.
Police Vow to Crack Down
“Drug dealers continue to operate in our communities, often brazen in their activities and believing they are beyond the reach of the law,” said Detective Constable Rebecca Naughton of Rugby Proactive CID.
“We will keep working tirelessly to disrupt their activities, investigate crimes, and bring offenders to justice. The continued success of our proactive approach to tackling drug dealing in Rugby should reassure the community.”
