Drug Dealer Sentenced After Arrest in Kent

In a series of drug-related arrests, Abdallah Chakir, a 36-year-old man, was caught by Kent Police when cocaine fell from his trousers during a traffic stop in Tunbridge Wells. He initially lied about his whereabouts, claiming to have been in London, but police checks revealed he had been in Kent, leading to the discovery of a total of 174 'streets deals' of cocaine and other drugs. Chakir was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply. Meanwhile, in Edinburgh, authorities arrested a man riding an e-bike who was found with heroin, crack cocaine, and cash, totaling 60 wraps of heroin and 55 wraps of crack cocaine. Additionally, a separate case in Soest involved a local man suspected of using his catering business for drug deals, prompting police intervention after years of complaints from residents. These incidents highlight ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat drug trafficking in various communities.
