Three drug dealers in Doncaster received lengthy prison sentences after a police operation aimed at tackling local drug supply issues
The operation, called Dream Alpha, involved many officers gathering evidence. They acted on concerns from the community about drug dealing.
First up was Dillan Milburn, 25. He was living in Edlington and was caught supplying drugs. He faced multiple charges and pleaded guilty. Dillan got six years in prison for his crimes.
Next was Justin Slack, 24. He tried to dodge the police by giving false details. But he was charged with several drug-related offenses and got three years and nine months.
Lastly, Craig Mullen, 42, from Conisbrough, was also caught supplying drugs. He faced serious charges and was sentenced to five-and-a-half years.
Detective Sergeant Rachael Smith spoke about the link between drug supply and violence. She emphasized the impact on local communities.
Operation Dream Alpha aims to disrupt drug lines and make neighborhoods safer. The police hope these sentences send a strong message to other dealers. They want to show that drug dealing is not a safe business.
The community can feel a bit safer knowing that these dealers are off the streets.
