Two men who were part of a class A county line drug dealing scheme have been convicted.

The drug line, known as ‘JJ’, ran from London to Crawley and facilitates the sale of class A drugs.

Police arrested Al Yasa Ismail, the alleged holder of the drug line, at an address in London where a phone was found linking him to the line.

A Section 8 warrant was then completed at a property in Iveagh Close, Crawley, and Younis Awale, a runner for the drug line, was also arrested.

Drugs and a phone were also seized at the address.

The pair were charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

Ismail, of Kimberley Avenue, London, and Awale, of Palmers Road, Enfield, pleaded guilty at Lewes Crown Court on June 27.

They are due to be sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on August 9.

Detective Chief Inspector Colin Garman said: “This result shows our commitment to dismantling drug lines and protecting our communities.

“Incredible work has been put in to get this result by all of our teams and I hope the sentencing they get is reflective of the crimes they have committed.”
