London cocaine dealer sentenced to 20 months after undercover police sting

A cocaine dealer has been jailed after he was caught by a plain clothes officer. Police swooped on Adi Skura, 22, on Cannon Street on September 18, after he was seen handing someone a suspicious package on Garlick Hill.

He was found with 20 snap bags of cocaine as well as £270 in cash and was arrested. Skura, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs. He was hit with 20 months behind bars.

Detective Constable James Crellin, Criminal Investigations Department at the City of London Police said: “We are proactively identifying and apprehending offenders and we will continue to take action to disrupt and pursue those involved in the supply of Class A drugs on the streets of London.

“These efforts not only rid the streets of this most impactful and harmful illegal activity, but it sends a clear message to those behind drug-related crime, that you will be caught and put behind bars.”

“We also want to issue a warning to those who are purchasing drugs or considering it. Not only it is a criminal offence, but you are also bringing violent and dangerous criminals into the City.”
