Brighton drug dealer jailed after being stopped at station

Hussein Jallow was stopped at Brighton Station by police and asked for his train ticket but ran away after showing it.

After stopping and searching him officers found heroin and crack cocaine as well as nearly £500 in cash.

Jallow was also found with a cannabis joint and a burner phone during the incident at Brighton Station on September 25 last year.

British Transport Police Constable Stewart McKenna said: “The scourge of drugs cause misery and death. Thanks to Jallow’s arrest a substantial amount has now been taken off the streets.

“Drugs will not be tolerated anywhere on the railway and officers will do everything in their power to bring prosecutions against those concerned with the supply of drugs.

"Using the railway to move drugs is never a good idea - we have specialist teams on trains and at stations across the whole network tackling drug supply seven days a week.”

Jallow, 24, of Nyetimber Hill in Brighton, pleaded guilty to possessing crack cocaine and heroin with intent to supply as well as possessing cannabis.

At a hearing in Lewes Crown Court he was sentenced to 43 months in prison and ordered to pay £228.
