A man will spend even longer in jail after he was found to be behind a county lines drug dealing operation.

Jeffrey Goodwin was arrested during a raid which was carried out at a property in Chatham.

Police suspected the property in Eldon Road had been cuckooed.

The 24-year-old was found with £225 cash, a Nokia phone and a SIM card he had hidden.

The phone showed messages offering deals to potential customers and officers believed these also indicated Goodwin was helping to operate the 'Pablo' drug line.

Goodwin, of Canning Town, admitted being concerned in the supply of class A drugs following the raid last May.

He appeared at Maidstone Crown Court yesterday where he had two years added to a sentence he is already serving for being concerned in the supply of heroin.

He was jailed back in June for five years after being convicted at Basildon Crown Court.

Investigating officer Det Con Robin Hemsley said: "There is no place in Kent for people who sell class A drugs and we will work continuously to stop those coming into the county to target vulnerable people.

"Drug dealers have little regard for the misery inflicted by the substances they sell and the pain they cause to communities.

"We are pleased with the result of this case and the custodial sentence given to Goodwin, which will keep him off of our streets."
