A 25-YEAR-OLD heroin and cocaine dealer has been jailed.
Leon Ziya-Williams of Ceres Road, Plumstead, was convicted of possession with intent to supply Class A and B drugs and possession of criminal property at Snaresbrook Crown Court on March 1.
He was sentenced to seven years and five months in prison.
Ziya-Williams was convicted along with four other men for the drug offences following an investigation by officers from Tower Hamlets Robbery Task Force last August.
On searching an address in Cable Street, in the East End, police discovered drugs including cocaine and heroin with a street value of £11,750 along with over £10,000 in cash.
Officers also recovered a handgun, ammunition and a bullet proof vest.
