A 21-year-old London man, Oussama Bouhamidi, has been sentenced to five years and seven months in prison for operating two county drug lines known as “Frank” and “Antz” between Brighton and Hove. The drug lines, which were active from 19 December 2022 to 22 February, facilitated the sale of drugs from large urban areas such as London to smaller towns and cities like Brighton.
Bouhamidi, from Westcroft Close in Camden, was arrested on 2 March after a police investigation into the “Frank” and “Antz” drug lines led to the execution of a warrant at his residence. During the raid, authorities seized several mobile phones, approximately £5,000 in cash, a significant quantity of crack cocaine and heroin, and other drug paraphernalia.
