Summary
- Ammar Hroub jailed for five years for drug supply offences.
- Police found drugs worth £1,770 in a linked BMW car.
- CCTV showed Hroub topping up the drug network's phone.
Ammar Hroub, aged 25, has received a five-year prison sentence for his involvement in a county drugs line that supplied heroin and crack cocaine across Kent and East Sussex. He was convicted by a jury of drug supply offences, though cleared of possession of criminal property.
The operation was uncovered in the summer of 2023 when police accessed a drug user's phone, revealing marketing messages sent over 200 times between November 2022 and August 2023. CCTV footage later placed Hroub topping up the associated phone at a shop in St Leonards.
During Hroub's arrest, officers found 71 wraps of crack cocaine and 59 wraps of heroin, along with loose diamorphine totaling 470g, in a BMW linked to him. These drugs had an estimated value of £1,770. Additional MDMA and £390 cash were found on his person.
