Kempston drug runner jailed for supplying crack and heroin

Police carried out a warrant at a property in Shakespeare Road, Bedford where they found Mgari and four other men.

Following a search, Mgari was found in possession of Class A drugs and cash. A further search of the property uncovered more drugs, weapons and numerous mobile phones.

In April, Mgari admitted two charges of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine, two charges of being concerned in the supply of diamorphine and charges of possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin.

On Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at Luton Crown Court, Mgari, 24, of Carlisle Road, Bedford, was sentenced to three years and two months in prison.

Detective Constable Lindsey Cook investigating, said: “There is no place in our community for criminals like Mgari – we very much welcome his sentence today.

“We know drug dealers like him are a real risk to our communities. Violence and exploitation are at the heart of drug crime from the exploitation of children and young people to vulnerable adults being cuckooed and abused.

“We will not let up in our efforts targeting the people running these drugs lines.”
