A MAN has been jailed for three years in Southampton for drug supply offences.
Cameron Jarvis, 19, of Whatman Road, London has been sentenced to three years in a young offender institution.
This came after an investigation into drug supply networks in Hampshire found that Jarvis was holding the drugs lines for a network between South East London and Southampton.
A Court heard how on January 12, officers in Southampton working with the Met Police carried out raids at properties in Whatman Road, London, Graham Street and York Close, Southampton.
Jarvis was arrested at the Whatman Road property and a number of items were seized from the address.
These included phones used to send messages marketing the sale of Class A drugs, notes outlining drug deals and 14g of crack cocaine with an estimated street value of £1,400.
Phones were also seized at the other addresses, along with a large knife located under sofa cushions in the York Close property.
On Tuesday, Jarvis was sentenced at Southampton Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class A drug - crack cocaine and possession with intent to supply a Class A drug - crack cocaine.
DC Rob Harnett, who led the investigation, said: “By taking Jarvis off our streets, we’ve removed one more drug dealer harming vulnerable members of our community and taken another link out of the county lines supply chain, weakening their presence in Southampton."
