A dealer who was found with cocaine just two weeks after being in court for drugs offences has been jailed.

Henry Okoh, 31, was initially arrested on October 3 after police conducted a search warrant at an address in Rainham Road, Gillingham.

Officers of the County Lines and Gangs Team found and seized seven wraps of cocaine.

Later that day a second search was done at a second property in Balmoral Road, which was connected to Okoh, where more cocaine and herbal cannabis was discovered, as well as two sets of digital scales and £3,500 in cash.

Okoh, of Medway Drive, Gillingham, was charged with drug supply offences and pleaded guilty at Medway Magistrates' Court the following day.

He was granted bail, pending sentencing, but on October 19 he was stopped in a car heading towards Gillingham town centre.

A search of the vehicle found more cannabis and cocaine and lead to Okoh being arrested again, along with his passenger Chloe Caseley, 26, who was found to be in possession of five deals of the class-A drug.

Both were charged with possessing cocaine with intent to supply, while Okoh was also charged with possessing cannabis with intent to supply and driving without a licence or insurance.

Okoh was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court yesterday to three years and six months in prison and issued with 10 points on his licence.

Caseley, of Medway Drive, was given a one-year sentence, which was suspended for two years, and ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid work.

Detective constable John Carless said: "These criminals are a blight on our society and peddle hard drugs to users who commit further crime to fund their habit.

"Okoh is now starting a prison sentence and the cash we seized has been forfeited."
