Man jailed for drugs offences

A man who was stopped by officers in Hackney in possession of cocaine worth up to £3 million has been sentenced to five years’ imprisonment at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

Darren Angol, 32, (17.04.80), of Millfields Road, E5 was stopped by Territorial Support Group officers whilst in a minicab on the 10 July in Pitfield St, N1. Officers searched the vehicle and found a Zara bag containing 2.46kg of cocaine (61% purity) in the back of the car and a further 55g of cocaine (73% purity) in the driver’s side door.

Angol and the minicab driver, Perry Law, 50, (19.01.62) of Wingfield Drive, Grays in Essex were arrested for possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

A search of Angol’s address subsequently recovered a further 14g of cocaine with a purity of 20%. A valuation statement placed the total value of cocaine seized as between £460,000 and £3 million.

On the 15 October both men pleaded guilty at Snaresbrook Crown Court to possession with intent to supply of class A drugs. Angol was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. Law received twelve months’ imprisonment, suspended for twelve months.

Detective Ccontable Simon Walsh of Hackney Police, said,

“As a result of these arrests a large quantity of cocaine was recovered, no doubt interrupting the supply of drugs in Hackney and beyond. Experience shows us that drug dealing fuels many other forms of crime, so removing them from the streets is a great result for the borough.”
