TWO drug dealers, who police say were "prolific" in The Meadows, have been jailed for a total of 12 years.
Liam Campbell, 24, of Woolmer Road, and Steven Ward, 28, of Lammas Gardens, were arrested after a crackdown on drug dealing in the area.
They were both sentenced to six years prison following a five-day trial at Nottingham Crown Court.
The court was told how the men were caught after police had carried out patrols of The Meadows.
During the day Police Community Support Officers spotted Ward and Campbell acting suspiciously on CCTV.
They were seen walking up and down alleyways, making phone calls and talking to drugs users.
They alerted plain-clothed officers, who arrested them and searched them.
Campbell had 19 "wraps" of drugs hidden on his body – five of heroin and 14 of crack cocaine.
Keys to a car owned by Ward were seized and a search of the vehicle uncovered a further 66 wraps, 33 of heroin and 33 of crack cocaine.
The pair were arrested and charged with conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine between January and May this year.
They denied the charges but were convicted by a jury.
Detective Constable Marvyn Johnson of Operation Vanguard, which tackles drug crime in Notts, said: "The pair were prolific offenders and so this result will go a long way to halting the drug supply in The Meadows and wider area.
"To those who get involved in drugs we have one message for you: we won't tolerate it and we will catch you."
