A drug dealer found with cocaine, cannabis and more than £6,000 cash in his room has been jailed for two years.

Jordon Martin, 21, was approached by police after finding officers searching his parents’ home in Northfleet Green, Gravesend, on the evening of Thursday, June 8, 2016.

Martin was arrested after he was found to be carrying six small packets of high-purity cocaine. Further drugs paraphernalia and cash were 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.

While carrying out the search at Martin’s parents house, the police discovered an illegal shotgun owned by Martin’s uncle, Peter Wenn, 50, who was living in a caravan at the address.

Wenn was jailed for 12 years and eight months in September 2017 after pleading guilty to drug and firearms offences.

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 and cannabis with intent to supply and possession of criminal property on Friday, and was sentenced the same day.

Senior investigating officer DI James Derham said: “While the assumption is that Jordon Martin was dealing drugs on behalf of his uncle, he is still old enough to know better than to get involved in such a harmful trade and has only himself to blame.

“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.

“This particular case does not end with Martin’s sentencing as we will now seek to permanently deprive him of the cash that was seized using legislation under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

“It is important that criminals are not allowed to continue to benefit from their offending once they have been released from prison, and that we send a loud and clear message that crime does not pay.”
