A drug dealer is facing the next 4 years and 6 months behind bars after he was sentenced at Winchester Crown Court today (8 December).
Edvaldo Dokaj was stopped by officers on Woodbridge Road, Guildford at 11:35pm on Wednesday, 29 March 2023, as it was suspected that his vehicle was involved in drug supply.
Dokaj was detained under the Misuse of Drugs Act and found to have a sum of cash, a mobile phone containing messages relating to drug supply and a small bag of white powder which was later forensically tested and confirmed to be cocaine.
He was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and charged and remanded into custody.
The defendant was found guilty after a four-day trial where he received a custodial sentence. Investigating officer, PC Shepherd said: “We are committed to tackling drug dealing across Surrey.
