A London man, Joel Henry, who made daily trips to Hastings to sell Class A drugs, has been sentenced following a conviction for the supply of crack cocaine and heroin. The verdict came after a four-day trial at Chichester Crown Court on April 25.
Joel Henry, 40, from Lakeview Road in Lambeth, was found guilty of orchestrating a sophisticated drug distribution network targeting vulnerable individuals in Hastings. His arrest on November 8 in St Leonards unveiled that he frequently travelled between London and Hastings, using a burner-style mobile phone to facilitate his illegal activities.
