A DRUG dealer who hid cocaine and cannabis in a house in Arnold Street has been sentenced to five years in prison.
In December last year, Rugby detectives raided the house and discovered an estimated £21,000 of cocaine and cannabis which had been hidden in what police described as ‘elaborate’ places.
Following the discovery, Hayden De’Harr, 27, of Telford was arrested and held on remand.
In November of this year, De’Harr appeared in Shrewsbury Crown Court where he was sentenced to five years in prison for possession of class A and B drugs with intent to supply. The sentence was also linked to an outstanding money laundering case.
Rugby-based Det Cons Matthew Rapkins said: “We welcome the custodial sentence of De’Harr.
“He was sitting on a large amount of controlled drugs that no doubt would have been distributed to residents of Rugby.
“We are committed to targeting drug dealers that operate in our town and this sentence shows that those involved in the supply of drugs are dealt with robustly by the courts.”
