Drug case trio facing prison

TWO men and a woman are facing jail after being convicted of a drugs conspiracy.

Fuat Bekir, Kristian Taylor and Mary-Ann Moore were remanded in custody and will be sentenced on March 6.

The three were convicted by a jury at Maidstone Crown Court of conspiracy to supply drugs.

The court was told police keeping watch on a Gillingham house discovered it was being visited by heroin addicts.

Secret bugs and CCTV cameras recorded the drug deals at Bekir and Moore's home in Beatty Avenue.

Ian Acheson, prosecuting, said Bekir, 47, Taylor, 29, of Charles Street, Chatham, and Moore, 30, wanted to expand the trade to stop "dirty, horrible people" going to the house for heroin.

Tapes of conversations revealed discussions about buying drugs.

Police kept watch for more than a month before Taylor was arrested after driving to a phone kiosk in Shirley Road, Chatham.

A quantity of heroin was seized with one of Taylor's fingerprints on a wrap. No drugs were found when the house in Beatty Avenue was searched.

Despite that, video and audio evidence clearly showed there was a conspiracy between the three, said Mr Acheson.
