County Lines drug dealer Nesta Baffi was jailed for more than six years for an operation that spanned Cambridgeshire.

The London drug dealer travelled to Cambridge to sell crack cocaine and heroin.

Detective Constable Beccy Halls, who investigated, said: “Baffi was responsible for running a criminal enterprise offering to supply calls A drugs within Cambridgeshire.

At Cambridge Crown Court on 23 December, Nesta Baffi, 31, of Reedham Close, Tottenham Hale, was sentenced to six years and three months in prison.

“Using phone data, we were able to link him to the ‘bakes’ drugs line.

“County lines dealers prey on the vulnerabilities of others in order to run their business and make money.
