A pair of drug dealers who ran two drugs “lines” selling cocaine and heroin in Peterborough have been jailed.
George Bellamy, 23, was responsible for the “Lucy and Reeko” drugs line while Umberto Femminile, 20, ran the “Fran” line, with both jailed at Huntingdon Law Courts on Thursday (June 8).
Bellamy was arrested at his home in Broadway, Yaxley, on September 15 last year after officers carried out a warrant to search the house.
They found heroin worth £860, as well as cocaine worth £500, £2,290 in cash, a set of scales, clingfilm and five mobile phones.
A further £3,170 in cash was uncovered in a safe.
About the same time, officers were executing a warrant at a house in St Paul’s Road, Peterborough, where they found cocaine worth £340, £210 of heroin and 7.15 kilograms of bulking agent for heroin.
Also at the house was a black Audi linked to Bellamy and paperwork with his name on, including a tenancy agreement.
Phones, SIM cards, cash and other drugs paraphernalia were also found.
Femminile was arrested at the house and evidence found linking his mobile phone to drug dealing.
Bellamy, of Broadway, Yaxley, was jailed for four years and six months, having pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply, two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and one count of acquiring/using/possessing criminal property.
Femminile, of Palace Gardens, Peterborough, was jailed for two years and three months, having pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply, two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and one count of acquiring/using/possessing criminal property.
DC James Campbell said: “The cash, drugs and paraphernalia discovered in these two warrants show how significant these convictions are.
“Drugs ruin the lives of everyone who comes into contact with them so I am delighted justice has been done and these two dealers are off the streets.”
