Three drug dealers who travelled from the capital to Essex to sell heroin and cocaine have been jailed for more than five years.

Mohammed Omar, Ahmed Abdalla and Dylan Jenkins were each jailed for 21 months at Chelmsford Crown Court after pleading guilty at the start of their trials.

Abdalla, 19, of Antill Road, Mile End and Omar, 24, of Sunningfields, Barnet, were arrested in Orwell Road, Clacton in June last year when they were spotted jumping out of a window at the back of a house.

The men tried to dump the 95 wraps of heroin and 62 wraps of crack cocaine they were carrying but officers spotted the class A drugs and arrested the men.

Abdalla was arrested again in July, alongside Jenkins, 20, of Quinta Drive, Barnet when police were called to a disturbance in Dudley Road, Clacton.

Abdalla was found with 56 wraps of class A drugs and more than £1000 in cash on him, and Jenkins had with him a mobile phone that was used to arrange drug deals.

Jenkins was then arrested for a second time on Marine Parade East, Clacton in September, when he was found carrying cocaine that he had planned to supply to an addict.

Omar pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin and possession with intent to supply cocaine, and Abdalla pleaded guilty possession with intent to supply heroin and being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

Jenkins pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine, being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and possession of a class B drug. He also admitted breaching an anti-social behaviour order.

All three men were sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday, and will serve 21 months at a young offender institution.

Ds Andy Stott of Operation Saturn said: "This demonstrates the commitment from Essex Police to targeting those who are travelling from London to prey on vulnerable people in our county.

"These arrests were made as a result of uniform officers being vigilant and aware of the on-going trend in Clacton of London males taking over vulnerable peoples addresses.

"That combined with the work and expertise of the Op Saturn team has seen three drug dealers who were operating a profitable drug line into Clacton removed from our streets."

A fourth man, Ahmed Khayre, 19, of no fixed address has been charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine and diamorphine and is due to appear in court next week.
