Soccer coach had 54 kilos of heroin in his car
3:15pm Friday 18th July 2008
A FOOTBALL coach from Sydenham found with heroin worth £4.35m stashed in his car has been sentenced to 12 years in jail.
Sean Foster, aged 29, admitted conspiracy to supply class A drugs on March 3 and was sentenced at Croydon Crown Court today (July 18).
A second man, Mylton Demetriou, aged 31, a nightclub promoter from Herne Hill, was found guilty on June 26 of the same charge and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The court heard that when police arrested the two men they found 54 kilos of heroin packed inside two holdalls in the boot of Foster's BMW.
Prior to the arrest in Croydon on October 16 last year, police watched Demetriou transfer a grey holdall from the boot of his VW Golf into the boot of Foster's car.
Officers stopped both cars after they pulled away.
In a search of Foster's home in Thakenham Close, Sydenham, officers found £48,300 cash in a carrier bag inside a wardrobe in his bedroom.

Wrong, get your faxs right. Anything after 5 years you do 3/4 so he will do 8 years and that is only on good behaveyour.
After all prison is also about rehabillatoin back into socity.

The previous distinction was for people given over 4, not 5 years and the minimum sentence which applied was still half but this was at the discretion of the parole board, automatic release for sentences over 4 years used to be two thirds. Get your facts right please.
