A 33-year-old man from Prestatyn has been jailed for three years and nine months after officers discovered almost 50g of crack cocaine at his home.
The sentence
Aldo Tamburrini, of Parc Cemlyn in Prestatyn, was sentenced at Mold Crown Court on Tuesday, 10 November.
He had already pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A drugs when he appeared at a plea hearing in October.
The raid
The case goes back to 27 August, when North Wales Police carried out a proactive warrant at Tamburrini’s home address.
Officers searching the property recovered:
- Almost 50g of crack cocaine, estimated to be worth close to £5,000 on the street
- Cash
- Mobile phones
- Drug paraphernalia
Police response
Detective Constable Abigail O’Hara welcomed the result and said the seizure had dealt a blow to the local drugs trade.
She said:
“This sentence represents a positive outcome following an investigation into the supply of Class A drugs in our community.
“Crack cocaine causes significant harm, not only to users but also to their families and the wider community. This drug seizure represents a significant disruption to the supply of drugs in the area.
“We are committed to tackling those involved in the supply of controlled drugs and will continue to pursue offenders who seek to profit from exploiting vulnerable people and causing harm in or communities.”
