A Hertfordshire drugs kingpin who ran a major supply network has been jailed for six years.
Hassan Bolat, 29, of no fixed abode, was arrested in September last year at an address in Seldon Hill, Hemel Hempstead.
During a search more than £16,000 in crack cocaine and heroin, £8,500 cash and numerous mobile phones were seized.
Bolat operated the Ace line in Hemel Hempstead, the Carlito line in Portsmouth and the Blue line in Peterborough from February 2022 until his arrest.
He appeared at Luton Crown Court on Wednesday, July 12, where he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six years for conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
Detective Sergeant Chris Cowell, from Hertfordshire Police's operation mantis team, said: “Bolat ran a major drug supply network stretching across several areas, including dealing crack cocaine and heroin within Hertfordshire.
“Successfully dismantling such a significant network will have a big impact on drug use and associated crime within our communities.
“This will also send a message to anyone involved in drug dealing that we will track them down and they will face long jail terms.”
