A 19-year-old drug dealer from Eastbourne has been sentenced to two years and two months in prison for his role in dealing Class A and Class B drugs in the area. Jay Farley had been operating in the town between June 2022 and February 2023, sending bulk advertising messages on mobile phones and arranging deals with customers.
On February 8, Farley was arrested by police from a plainclothes patrol on Susans Road. The arrest came as part of a joint investigation under Operation Orochi and Operation Centurion, which aimed to disrupt “county lines” drug dealing in Sussex. Officers from Sussex Police, Surrey Police, and the Metropolitan Police all worked together as part of the investigation.
Evidence gathered by the investigation showed that Farley had agreed to supply both cannabis and cocaine. After an investigation by Eastbourne CID, he was charged with two counts of being concerned in the supply of drugs.
