Man jailed for drugs offences in Islington

-

 A man has been jailed having been convicted for the third time of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply.

Sonny Doyle, 25, (2.08.95) of no fixed address but from the Islington area, was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Wednesday, 10 February to five years and eight months’ imprisonment.

He had pleaded guilty at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, 14 January to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, both crack cocaine and heroin.

The court heard that he had two previous convictions for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs in 2016 and in 2018.

On Tuesday, 12 January, officers were called to Cantelowes Gardens, off Camden Road to reports of an altercation involving a group of males. Local officers attended and saw Doyle run from police. They gave chase on foot and detained him nearby. He was found to be in possession of ten rocks of heroin and three rocks of crack cocaine.

Doyle was charged with two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, and he subsequently pleaded guilty to both offences.

Superintendent Elaina Usher, from the Met's Central North Neighbourhoods Unit, said: “Under new legislation (Section 313 of the Sentencing Act 2020) defendants who are convicted on three occasions of possessing Class A drugs with intent to supply, will face a minimum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment. In this case that was reduced slightly due to an early guilty plea.

“This should act as a major warning to those who inflict misery on our communities by dealing drugs. You will be caught and you will spend a significant time in prison.

“I want to reassure those living or working in Camden and Islington that officers from the Met’s Central North BCU are always looking at ways to tackle drugs offending in our two boroughs. In this case, the dedicated ‘Drugs Focus Desk’ based at Islington provided support to the arresting officers, resulting in the guilty plea and the sentence handed down at Snaresbrook Crown Court.”

Anyone with information about those dealing drugs in London us urged to call police on 101, tweet @MetCC or to remain anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111..
