A Lewisham drug dealer who was arrested with 64 grams of high-purity cocaine in the boot of his car has been jailed.

Olti Sefgjini, 26, of Drake Road, pleaded guilty to possessing class A drugs with intent to supply on February 2 at Maidstone Crown Court, where he was sentenced to two years and four months’ imprisonment.

His home address was raided early on March 11 2020 after officers identified him as a dealer operating in Gravesend and Dartford.

Sefgjini was arrested and officers searched the premises along with his Vauxhall Astra parked outside.

In the boot of the vehicle, investigators recovered 114 deals of cocaine weighing almost 64 grams. The drugs were analysed and 69 of the deals had a high purity of around 77 per cent.

The street value of the cocaine was later estimated to be between £2,850 and £5,700.

Sefgjini was charged with possessing class A drugs with intent to supply. 

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Helen King, said: "Kent Police is committed to tackling the scourge of drug dealing and we will target criminals at their London homes when they are identified.

"In this case, Sefgjini received an early morning visit and was caught with a considerable amount of cocaine that would have ended up on the streets of Kent.

"His prison sentence is entirely justified."
