A drug dealer has been jailed for two years after more than £7,000 worth of cocaine was found when police raided his home next to a Tolworth school. 

Jack Smith, 21, of School Lane, was sentenced at Kingston Crown Court yesterday after he admitted drug dealing.

The court heard how police found cocaine of a “very high purity” that was likely to have been cut using another substance to increase the street value when they raided Smith’s home on July 14.

Police also found snap bags of cannabis and cocaine, electronic scales with cannabis residue on them, £240 cash and three mobile phones, which contained messages between Smith and his customers.

Detective Inspector Adam Guttridge, of Kingston CID, said: “Smith is now going to prison - this sentence reflects how seriously the courts and police treat those who supply drugs on the streets of Kingston."

Anyone with information about drug dealing in Kingston should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
