Zak Nsubuga, 29, was arrested at his home in Vian Avenue in September after he was identified as a drug dealer running a line from Enfield into Brentwood by Essex Police.
He had registered a phone line under the name ‘Al Capone’.
When officers entered through his front door, he tried to dispose of a blue bag and escape through his bedroom window but he was stopped and arrested.
During a search of his home, police found seven mobile phones, a bundle containing individual deal wraps, a significant amount of cash and drug preparation paraphernalia.
He was charged with being concerned in supply of Class A drugs, possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and acquiring, using or possessing criminal property.
He appeared at Southend Magistrates’ Court on September 5 and admitted all counts.
On Monday (November 17) he was sentenced to three years in prison at Wood Green Crown Court.
Detective Sergeant Tom Whelan-Bassett said: “By the time Nsubuga was arrested, he had no idea of the strength of the case we already had against him, which ultimately meant he was quickly charged and appeared in court the next day – and admitted all offences.
“And whilst he’s in a prison cell, we’ll also be pursuing him to seize all available assets under the Proceeds of Crime Act and recoup every penny we can on behalf of the law-abiding public.”
