A county lines drug dealer has been jailed for supplying heroin and crack cocaine in Kent.
Habib Sesay, of Darnley Road, Gravesend, was arrested in January after officers linked his address to a phone being used to supply the class A substances in the town centre.
The 21-year-old admitted being a part of the supply of heroin and crack cocaine was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on Wednesday to four years in prison.
Officers carried out a warrant on his home on January 22 and, although no drugs were found in his home, they seized a quantity of cash and two mobile phones they suspected were being used to organise drug deals.
Sesay was brought into custody and an analysis of the phone uncovered 14,000 messages relating to supplying the drugs - he was charged on February 12.
Police constable Nicole Mayne, investigating officer for the case, said: "Sesay was motivated by the desire to make money from the sale of drugs and cared little for the misery substance misuse causes.
"Despite not finding any drugs in his possession, we were still able to obtain irrefutable evidence on two mobile phones that conclusively proved his guilt and left him with no choice but to plead guilty.
"I am pleased that he has been brought to justice..."
"I am pleased that he has been brought to justice and we will continue to target those who cause harm to our communities by supplying drugs."
