A teenager has been sentenced to two years in a young offenders institute for dealing drugs.

Joseph Adams-Murton of Pattison Court, St Neots, was sentenced at Peterborough Crown Court on Friday after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine, possession of cannabis and possession of criminal property.

The 19-year-old made off on a bike after spotting officers from the Southern Impact Team on patrol in Huntingdon Street, St Neots, on March 6 last year.

Officers searched his home and discovered further drug paraphernalia.

Sgt Jamie Williams said: “We will continue to put those involved in the production and supply of drugs in the county before the courts. I hope this result will serve as a deterrent to others.”
