St Neots drug dealer jailed for more than three years

A drug dealer from St Neots has been jailed for more than three years after being caught supplying drugs across Huntingdonshire.

Nelson Smith, 26, of Cambridge Road, was found to be dealing cocaine and cannabis in St Neots, St Ives and the surrounding area.

He was arrested at an address in Willingham on 10 February, where officers recovered cocaine worth up to £3,500, cannabis valued at £360, 305 canisters of nitrous oxide and £1,750 in cash.

At Huntingdon Law Courts on Wednesday 25 March, Smith pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply both cocaine and cannabis. He was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison.

Detective Sergeant Dominic Carminati said:

“Smith was operating across Huntingdonshire causing real harm to our communities. This sentence reflects the seriousness of his actions and our commitment to targeting those who deal drugs and exploit others for profit.

“We will continue to disrupt offenders like him and encourage the public to report any concerns so we can act.”
