Officers searched Hussain’s home address and seized quantities of drugs which are estimated to have a street value of over £4,000.

The team also seized several thousands of pounds in cash.

Appearing before court on Friday, Hussain was sentenced to three years and four months for possession and intent to supply a Class A drug and 12 months for possession with intent to supply a Class B drug. His sentences are to run concurrently.

PC Wayne Makin said: “This sentence is a result of months of tireless work by the proactive CID team in Sheffield in building such a strong case against Hussain.”

Operation Duxford is an operation which pulls together resources from across the force for a targeted day of action in one of the South Yorkshire districts.

PC Makin continued: “This is exactly what we hope to achieve on a Duxford. Op Duxfords are there to tackle the issues that matter most to our communities.

“Drug dealing, and the associated criminality, has a massive impact on residents. I am glad we have been able to put yet another offender behind bars for a considerable amount of time.

“I hope this sends a strong message that we will not tolerate drug-related criminality in South Yorkshire.”
