A 27-year-old man from Ealing has been jailed for over three years after admitting to running a County Lines drug operation, with officers discovering crack cocaine, heroin, and a concealed knife during a stop-and-search in Richmond.
Henry-Gooding pleaded guilty to:
- Two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs
- Possession of a bladed article
- Three counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs
Police: “A Criminal Mastermind Brought Down”
Speaking after the sentencing, Sergeant Julian Mason, who oversaw the investigation, said:
“Now that Henry-Gooding is behind bars, Richmond and its surrounding communities can breathe a sigh of relief that a prolific drug dealer is off the streets along with the illegal substances he was peddling.”
“Henry-Gooding believed he was a criminal mastermind and above the law, but once again the work of our County Lines Taskforce proves that we will stop at nothing in dismantling and disrupting the menace of drug and knife crime on the railway.”
The sentencing marks another success for the BTP County Lines Taskforce, which continues to crack down on the transport-linked drug trade plaguing London and beyond.
Anyone with information about drug dealing on the railway can report it anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or text British Transport Police on 61016.
