Cambridge drug dealer jailed for more than three years

A 37-year-old man dealing cocaine across Cambridge has been jailed for more than three years.

Police were on patrol on July 27 when they spotted a black Hyundai i30 which they knew was linked to dealing drugs.

They pulled the car over in Coldham’s Lane and arrested Zhecho Georgiev after finding more than £100 in cash and cocaine in the car.

His home in Newmarket Road was searched where police found a further £2,340 as well as scales and cannabis.

In a police interview Georgiev admitted that he was being paid to sell drugs. He told police that people would text him and he would go and meet them with the drugs.

Georgiev was sentenced to three years and two months in prison at Huntingdon Law Courts on Wednesday (December 20) after previously pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs, being concerned in the supply of class A drugs, possession with intent to supply class B drugs, possession of criminal property and possession of a false ID document.

PC James Good said: “Drug dealing continues to be a priority for police in Cambridgeshire because of the associated violence, theft and misery it brings to the county.”
