Man sleeping in boiler cupboard admitted pushing crack cocaine

A man busted for selling drugs in a so-called 'county line' operation has been jailed. Police acting on intelligence searched a home in Weston-super-Mare and found Peter Busulwa living in a boiler cupboard.

Evidence from phones gathered at the scene confirmed he and another man were dealing drugs from the premises as part of criminal drug gang's the Marco Line enterprise. Busulwa, 33, whose address was given as Orchid Close in Kewstoke, pleaded guilty to jointly being concerned in the supply of Class A drug crack cocaine between March 1 and April 5 2019. He also admitted possessing cannabis for personal use.

Judge Moira Macmillan jailed him for 12 months. She told Busulwa: "You were a Class A drug dealer and you were very much in debt." A hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act, to claw back any ill-gotten gains, was adjourned.
