Next up on the docket, we have a case involving a drug dealer who was anything but discreet. This individual, identified as Entison Dimitri, was caught on camera selling illegal substances outside a casino in the early hours of February 22, 2022. The CCTV operators responsible for monitoring the area noticed Dimitri handing out class A drugs in the doorway of Merkur Slots, located on Lincoln Road in Millfield, Peterborough. They quickly alerted the authorities, and Dimitri was soon after stopped and searched by the police.
During the search, officers found a zipped pouch in Dimitri's trousers containing cocaine and crack cocaine, along with additional wraps of drugs in his nearby car. The total value of these drugs was estimated to be around £5,000. But that's not all - a search of Dimitri's home in Lincoln Road uncovered even more class A drugs, bringing the total value of his illegal stash to over £10,000. Needless to say, he was promptly arrested and charged with possession with intent to supply cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin.
Dimitri recently appeared in court, where he pleaded guilty to all charges. The judge presiding over the case sentenced him to two years in prison, suspended for two years. During the sentencing, the judge couldn't help but comment on Dimitri's less-than-stellar drug dealing skills. According to the judge, who had watched the CCTV footage, Dimitri's actions were quite naive considering he was dealing drugs in plain sight of the cameras. It was only a matter of time before he was caught, as he was clearly not very good at hiding his illegal activities.
The judge also expressed concern over Dimitri's reasons for turning to drug dealing. Apparently, the birth of his child had led him down this dangerous path, as he had also developed a gambling addiction and was using drug dealing as a means to fund his habit. As part of his sentence, Dimitri was ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work, attend a 25-day Rehabilitation Activity Requirement, and adhere to a strict curfew for the next four months.
Sergeant Sarah Phillips, who leads the Eastern Peterborough Neighbourhood Policing Team, spoke out about the case, emphasizing the importance of tackling drug dealing and its associated crimes in the city. She explained that the local community had expressed concerns about this issue, and her team was determined to address it. With Dimitri's sentencing, they have taken another step towards making their community a safer place for all.
