He was jailed for two years and four months when he appeared at Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing on March 7.

Inspector Christine Busuttil, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The force continues to work relentlessly to identify those involved in the supply of illegal drugs in our county.

“Drug crime can have a significant harmful impact on individuals and communities and will never be tolerated by Nottinghamshire Police.

“Our priority is to remove drugs and dealers from our streets and I hope this sentencing sends a clear message to those who think this sort of criminal behaviour is acceptable – if you try and sell drugs, you can expect to be caught and expect to go to jail."
