Drug dealers operating a County Line into Eastbourne have been jailed after detectives dismantled their supply into the town.
Jonid Cufaj, Julian Cufaj, and Urim Peraj, operated the “Tony” mobile phone line supplying cocaine from Essex to Eastbourne.
But following an investigation, warrants were executed and they were arrested.
Now, following a trial, they have each been jailed for being concerned in the supply of class A drug.
The three were sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on January 31.
Eastbourne District Commander Chief Inspector Di Lewis said: “This was a significant investigation that revealed how the group supplied class A drugs into Eastbourne for more than a year.
“Officers are determined to disrupt the supply of drugs which cause so much harm in our community, and to tackle offences and activity associated with County Lines drug supply.”
The court was told how Jonid Cufaj, 25, a labourer of London Road, Romford, effectively led the group, while his younger brother Julian Cufaj, 22, unemployed of Southend Arterial Road, Havering, was also linked to the drug supply line in Essex.
They worked with Urim Peraj, 25, unemployed of Cavendish Avenue, Eastbourne, who acted as the drug dealer in Eastbourne.
