Three men have been locked up or handed tough sentences at the Old Bailey for dealing drugs to young adults and girls around Enfield and Barnet.
Drug Dealers Busted in Enfield and Barnet
Phillip Amoah, 25, from Chase Side, Enfield, was handed a three-year sentence. He pled guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and one count of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs at Wood Green Crown Court on 30 April.
Meanwhile, Mehmet Haksoy, 18, of Pickard Close, Enfield, was given a six-month jail term suspended for two years. He also faces 20 days of rehabilitation activities, a criminal behaviour order, and 50 hours of unpaid work. Haksoy pled guilty on 24 November to possession with intent to supply Class B drugs.
Houston Ghandi, 20, also from Chase Side, Enfield, received the same suspended sentence and community punishment after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply Class B drugs.
Police Crackdown Linked to Child Sexual Exploitation Probe
The convictions followed a Met Police investigation by the Child Sexual Exploitation Team, targeting drug offences linked to vulnerable underage schoolgirls. The operation was launched amid rising concerns of missing girls and signs they were involved with illegal drugs.
The crackdown aims to keep young people safe and stamp out drug dealing connected to exploitation in the community.
