Three more drug dealers have been locked up following an undercover police operation to crackdown on the supply of Class A drugs in the Maidstone area.

David Defraine, of The Cockpit, Marden, was jailed for two years, despite a plea for him to continue receiving treatment for his chronic drug problem.

Tyran Lawrence, 20, of Hoxton, north London, was sentenced to three years 10 months youth custody and 19-year-old Daniel Sheehan, of Highbury, north London, to three years youth custody.

Maidstone Crown Court heard that two undercover officers known as Ricky and Sam were deployed to buy heroin and cocaine from dealers earlier this year.
