Two men have been jailed for running a county line in Norwich.
The men were sentenced for conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine after appearing at Norwich Crown Court on Friday, April 21.
On Thursday, August 11, 2022, Leslie Menka and Adegoke Dada were arrested at properties in London.
A number of phones were seized, as well as more than £2,000 cash and a train ticket from Norwich to Colchester.
Analysis of the phones seized revealed the two men had been using them for the sale and distribution of Class A drugs from London to Norwich.
Adegoke Dada, 21, of Lancaster Road in London was sentenced five years in prison.
Leslie Menka, 21, of Finch Mews in London was sentenced to three years in prison.

Both men pleaded guilty at earlier hearings to operating a county line in Norwich between May and August 2022.
The county line has been closed down following an investigation involving Norfolk Constabulary’s Norwich Neighbourhood Policing Team and County Lines Team, as well as the Metropolitan Police under Operation Orochi.
Op Orochi focuses on analysing mobile phone data to target those running county lines out of the capital into smaller counties such as Norfolk.
