Peterborough drug dealer jailed over £13,000 crack cocaine found

Emmanuel Oluwaseye, a 19-year-old drug dealer from Peterborough, has been sentenced to three years and eight months in prison after being caught with nearly £13,000 worth of crack cocaine and £1,780 in cash. He was arrested during a police operation on September 12, when officers observed him preparing for a drug deal in an underpass. After fleeing from police, he discarded a package containing £690 worth of drugs, which led to further searches revealing additional drugs and cash at his residence. Despite providing a false address, investigators uncovered evidence of his involvement in drug dealing through a burner phone. Oluwaseye has prior convictions for drug offenses, and the seized cash will be donated to local charities. Detective Constable Lloyd Davis commended the police team's efforts in apprehending Oluwaseye and emphasized the importance of addressing drug crime in the community.
