Sussex Police’s relentless efforts to dismantle County Lines operations have resulted in the incarceration of yet another drug dealer. Alvin Satou-Boumpoutou, aged 32, fell into the police’s radar during Operation Centurion’s investigation targeting illegal drug supply in Sussex.
The enforcement team executed a search warrant at Satou-Boumpoutou’s residence on St James’s Road, Croydon, on November 21. The search led to the uncovering of significant drug hauls, including 84 grams of cocaine and 597 grams of cannabis, alongside £14,395 in cash and a taser cunningly concealed as an iPhone.
Following the seizure of these items, Satou-Boumpoutou was apprehended and faced charges for his intent to distribute cocaine and cannabis, possession of a disguised firearm, and holding criminal property. His court appearance at Lewes Crown Court on March 8 culminated in a sentencing of three years and three months in prison, marking another victory for Sussex Police in their campaign against drug-related crime and County Lines activities.
