Drug dealer given prison sentence

A 42 year old Southampton man was jailed earlier this week for two years and eight months. This was in relation to drug related offences, which resulted in his arrest back in March.

Damian Dorobisz, of Milner Court pleaded guilty to the following;

-Possession with intent to supply a Class A drug
-Two counts of possession with intent to supply Class B drugs
-Acquire / use / possess criminal property.

The arrest and subsequent sentencing follows a search of his vehicle and property. In the car, officers found a suitcase filled with £3,000 of cocaine, £1,720 of cannabis and amphetamine worth £2,460. In addition, £4,200 in cash was found along with weighing scales and a knuckle duster..

At his address in Milner Court, a zombie knife was found on display, and a number of mobile phones were also found. All items from the car and property were seized.

Via a social media statement, DC Rhys McDonnell, lead officer at the time, from Western Investigations said;

“Dorobisz’s arrest came about thanks to the proactive policing of my colleagues, which has led to the removal of a cog in the drug dealing machine in Southampton.

“As shown by what they found in his car, the harm drug dealing does to our city extends beyond the drugs themselves – it is the weapons and violence that so often goes hand in hand.

“We hope this result shows that we will work hard to disrupt drug supply networks in Southampton and bring offenders to justice, making our city a safer place.

“If you have any information about drug dealing in your neighbourhood, please report it to us. It helps us build a stronger picture of the issue to ensure we have officers in the right place at the right time to make arrests, such as in this case.”
