A Walthamstow teenager has been jailed for more than three years after he was caught with “hefty hauls” of cocaine and heroin at Euston station.
Emmauel Arosomade, 19, was spotted by the British Transport Police attempting to board a train to Northampton on May 2.
Officers searched the teenager and found a metal police baton in his jacket pocket and a cluster of drugs wrapped in cling film in his tracksuit bottoms.
The drugs were later found to be crack cocaine with an estimated street value of £1100.
Arosomade pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and possession of an offensive weapon.
He was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court on May 30 and jailed for 40 months. He was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £228.
Investigating officer T/DC Daniel Burke said: “Attempting to transport hefty hauls of class A drugs in plain sight on the railway is not a good idea.
“We have highly trained specialist officers working across the country as part of our County Lines Taskforce – we are watching you and you will be apprehended and face the consequences.”
