A man described by police as “a prolific drug dealer” has been jailed for four years after being found guilty of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

Conor Cooke, 22, of Brunswick Road, Deepcut, was arrested after a warrant was carried out at his home back in February this year. Officers found a large quantity of drugs and £2,460 in cash, and Cooke was subsequently charged with:

Being concerned in the supply of Class A (cocaine)
Being concerned in the supply of Class B (cannabis)
Being concerned in the supply of Class B (ketamine)
Possession with intent to supply Class A (cocaine)
Possession with intent to supply Class B (cannabis)
Possession of criminal property

Cooke pleaded guilty at Guildford Crown Court. Apart from the prison sentence, he was also ordered to pay a surcharge of £228 along with the forfeiture of the cash seized.

Police said: “This result has removed another organised criminal from Surrey’s streets. We are determined to do all we can to protect the vulnerable members of our community from criminals such as Cooke. If you suspect drug dealing, please let us know – your information might be key.

“If you are concerned about drug use or drug dealing in your area, contact us online or via the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. In an emergency, always dial 999.”

Police said the signs of drug dealing are:

People waiting in cars outside particular properties exchanging small packets or cash
Lots of visitors bringing items such as TVs or bikes but leaving empty handed
Lone/vulnerable neighbours suddenly having groups of young men living at their address
