Jail for man who supplied cocaine

A man who was involved in supplying cocaine in Peterborough has been jailed.

Mirsaif Khan, 50, was arrested on 31 May after he sold the drug twice at a venue in Lincoln Road, Millfield.

Khan, of Clarence Road, Millfield, admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine and was jailed for 16 months at Peterborough Crown Court yesterday (31 January).

DC Tracey Black, who investigated, said: “The supply of cocaine and other class A drugs destroys lives by trapping people in addiction.

“The wider impact on our communities is significant, with drugs being linked to other crimes such as shoplifting, burglary and violence.

“We’re determined to do all we can to bring drug dealers to justice and make Cambridgeshire even safer.”

Khan is the thirteenth person to be sentenced as part of Operation Tsunami, a crackdown on exploitation and illegal drugs in Peterborough.

The enforcement phase, which ran throughout May last year, has so far seen 48 people arrested with 22 of those charged with 88 drug offences, and 13 people sentenced to a total of almost 37 years in prison.
