Portslade man sentenced to 54 months for cocaine supply in Hove
Amarildo Tefaj, 28, of Church Road, Portslade, has been jailed for 54 months after police uncovered cocaine and more than £3,300 in cash linked to drug supply in Hove, The Argus reports.
Officers stopped Tefaj on Lansdowne Place, Hove, on 8 September, acting on intelligence suggesting he had links to drug supply in the area. A search of his car revealed nine grip seal bags of cocaine.
Keys found on Tefaj led police to a flat on Davigdor Road, Hove, where they discovered a large block of cocaine, benzocaine, cash in excess of £3,300, and multiple mobile phones.
Tefaj was arrested and charged with possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and acquiring, using, and possessing criminal property. He appeared at Brighton Magistrates' Court on 9 September and was remanded in custody.
On 7 October at Lewes Crown Court, he pleaded guilty to both charges. He was sentenced on 29 October at the same court to 54 months in prison.
