He appeared at Peterborough Crown Court yesterday (Wednesday 1 February) where he was sentenced to two years in prison after previously admitting possession with intent to supply cocaine and acquiring criminal property, namely cash.

A Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) hearing will be held on 14 June.

Detective Constable Steph Dunlop said: “This is another example of the fantastic work our Neighbourhood Support Teams do to tackle drug dealing in our communities.

“Zeshan was found to be in possession of a significant amount of cocaine, which we do not want in our county. As a force we are working hard to make Cambridgeshire a hostile environment for drug dealers and welcome any information from the public to help us.”
