Two men have been jailed after being caught with £10,000 worth of drugs in Aberdeen.
Jahvid Frith, 28, and Tyrone Sealey were arrested in February 2023 when police recovered cocaine, heroin and cannabis from a flat in Marischal Court, as well as £2,000 in cash, multiple mobile phones and other items used to co-ordinate drug supply.
The drug operation was a County Lines one between Aberdeen and England, meaning gangs and organised criminal networks involved in exporting illegal drugs into one or more importing areas, using dedicated mobile phone lines or other form of “deal line”.
Frith was sentenced to three years and four months and Sealey five years and three months at the High Court in Edinburgh on Wednesday, 30 October, 2024.
Detective Sergeant Christopher Wilson said: “Drugs cause immense damage to our communities, and today’s sentencing underlines Police Scotland’s continuing commitment to the Serious organised Crime Taskforce and the country’s Serious Organised Crime Strategy.
“This case sends a clear message that County Lines operations will not be tolerated, and we will pursue those who seek to profit from illegal activities.
“If you have any concerns about drugs in your area, please contact Police Scotland on 101 or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
