Two Men Jailed Over Portsmouth County Line Drug Operation
Two men have been locked up for a total of 6 years and 8 months after a major drug bust at Portsmouth Crown Court. One of the men, identified only as 123, was sentenced to 32 months for his role in supplying crack cocaine and heroin.
‘Ghost’ County Line Ring Busted
The investigation exposed a county line operation dubbed ‘Ghost,’ led by a man named Ohenebeng from May 2023, with help from Clarke. Police fear the county line is linked to four recent non-fatal overdoses in the area.
Huge Haul of Drugs and Cash Seized
Officers discovered drugs worth around £35,000 hidden in a bathroom void, alongside a bag containing £6,520 in cash. A large amount of heroin, a deadly Rambo knife, and drug prep equipment were also found stashed in the kitchen drawer.
Police Urge Public to Report Drug Activity
“Drug supply causes harm and misery to our communities and we will continue disrupting it and making sure that our city is a hostile environment for drug dealers to operate in,” said a spokesperson. “We encourage anyone who suspects drug-related activity to report it. Every tip helps us build intelligence and take action.”
