A 22-year-old who made thousands from dealing cocaine has been ordered to cough up £17,000.

Jordon Martin, of Northfleet Green, came home to find officers searching his home.

They had executed a warrant under the Firearms Act and found a shotgun illegally owned by Martin’s uncle Peter Wenn, 51, who was living in a caravan at the property.

He was jailed for 12 years for drugs and firearms offences a year ago.

Martin was arrested after he was found to be carrying six small packets of high-purity cocaine. Further drugs paraphernalia and cash was found during a search of his car, a Mercedes AMG.

Packets of cocaine and cannabis were also discovered during a search of his bedroom, in addition to £6,625 cash and various other equipment including weighing scales, plastic tubs and freezer bags.

Woolwich Crown Court heard how Martin appeared to be selling drugs on behalf of his uncle, whose mobile phone contained messages and tick-lists associated with the supply of cocaine and cannabis.

Martin pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply, possession of cannabis with intent to supply and possession of criminal property in December and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment.

He has now been ordered to pay back £16,972.55 earned through his criminal activity. If he fails to pay within three months then he will be imprisoned for six months.

Detective Inspector Annie Clayton said: "Drugs ruin lives and we will stop at nothing to break down the organised criminal groups who are responsible for bringing cocaine and other illegal substances onto the streets of Kent.

"It was clear that Jordon Martin was making a lot of money from the sale of illegal substances but ultimately crime does not pay and thanks to legislation under the Proceeds of Crime Act we are able to ensure offenders like him are not allowed to reap the rewards of their unlawful actions."
