Guilty plea to drug supply offences in Dorchester

A man has appeared in court and pleaded guilty to drug supply offences in Dorchester.

Officers proactively visited an address in Wollaston Road on Friday 21 September 2018 following reports of suspected drug misuse. Five men were arrested and a quantity of suspected class A drugs were seized.

Mohammed Abdullah, 32 and of County Grove in Camberwell, London, appeared before Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on Monday 24 September 2018 and pleaded guilty to three counts of possession with intent to supply a class A drug, acquiring/using/possessing criminal property, obstructing or resisting a constable in the execution of his/her duty and assaulting a constable in the execution of his/her duty. He will next appear at Bournemouth Crown Court on Friday 26 October 2018 to be sentenced.

During the arrests three police officers sustained injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment.

Four other local men aged 30, 32, 34 and 60 were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled class A drug and have been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
