A Chessington crack dealer part of an 11-strong gang who held a community in a vice-like grip of fear and intimidation has been jailed for 18 months.

Daniel Fitzgerald, 25, of Mount Road, was imprisoned for his part in a huge drug-dealing operation supplying crack cocaine in the UK to customers from across the south-east.

The gang operated out of a block of flats in Battersea, overlooking Clapham Junction.

A two-month undercover operation involving detectives posing as customers culminated in a raid on the flats, and the seizure of cash, weapons, drugs, cars and numerous arrests.

Fitzgerald was jailed with seven other dealers after admitting supplying crack cocaine at a hearing at Kingston Crown Court in April.

On Friday, the three remaining members, described as the ringleaders, were imprisoned. Combined, the 11 members received prison sentences totalling 43 years.
