A 21-year-old drug dealer was locked up after locals reported his shady activities to the police in South Woodham Ferrers, a court heard this week.

Vison Tahiaraj Slapped with Jail for Cocaine Supply

Vison Tahiaraj, from Tillotson Road, Edmonton, was sentenced to two years and one month at Chelmsford Crown Court on 3 February. He pled guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply, while a second charge was dropped, plus driving while disqualified and failing to attend a previous court hearing.

Police Praise Public for Helping Nab Dealer

Sergeant Matt Dalby of the Maldon Neighbourhood Policing Team said, “Officers rely on information from the public to assist their investigations.” Without tip-offs, Tahiaraj might have stayed on the streets.

Jail, Driving Ban and Seizures Hit Dealer

  • Jail: 2 years, 1 month
  • Driving ban: 1 year, licence endorsed
  • Damaging evidence: Drugs, baseball bat destroyed
  • Phone and cash were seized and forfeited

Thanks to vigilant locals and hard-hitting police, another drug dealer is off the streets.
