A county lines drug dealer who supplied crack cocaine and heroin across a town which he hid in his living room has been jailed for seven years.

Police began looking into the “H” drug supply line dealing class A drugs in Dartford in October last year.

A mobile number was found being used to send bulk text messages and following enquiries it was linked to Norman Samura, of Spindle Close, Woolwich.

On June 1 officrs attended the 25-year-old’s home address where they carried out a search and while inside the property located the mobile phone used to send the text messages.

Police also found deal bags filled with white powder, and white and yellow pills.

During the search, a “hide” was found in the living room filled with cash and deal bags.

The hide also held keys for three cars, a BMW, an Alpha Romeo and a Hyundai Ioniq.

It was confirmed these cars were on false plates and each vehicle had been reported stolen from addresses in London and Bexleyheath between April 3 and May 10.

Samura was arrested and later charged with possession with intent to supply crack cocaine, being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin and three charges of handling stolen goods.

He admitted the charges and on October 27 was jailed at Maidstone Crown Court for four years.

He was handed an additional sentence of three years after he admitted similar offences in Surrey.

Investigating officer, DC Michael Nolan said: “We work hard to prevent and disrupt county line drug dealers supplying drugs across Kent.

“Samura is a prolific drug dealer who thinks nothing of supplying cocaine and heroin to vulnerable drug users in order to financially profit.

“We will continue to target those supplying drugs and to ensure they are held accountable for their criminality.”

In 2021 Samura was jailed for 21 weeks after admitting charges of dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and without insurance.

His antic were caught on camera as he sped through Dartford at twice the speed limit - hurtling past a mum and two children who were about to use a zebra crossing.
