County lines drug dealer jailed after police raids
A county lines drug dealer has been jailed after being caught with class A drugs during a police operation targeting suppliers and traffickers.
Mohammed Fiaz, 40, of Newark Avenue in Peterborough, was caught during a dawn raid on his home as part of Operation Hypernova, a Cambridgeshire force-wide crackdown on county lines drug dealing and human trafficking.
Police found three mobile phones, with messages linking him to dealing crack cocaine and heroin.
At Peterborough Crown Court Fiaz admitted being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine and on Tuesday was sentenced to 30 months in jail.
Det Con Stacey Neve, said: "Fiaz was sending bulk messages to vulnerable users advertising crack cocaine and heroin for sale in order to pocket the cash.
"We will continue to make the county hostile towards county lines drug dealers and prevent further exploitation of young and vulnerable people."
Operation Hypernova 3 took place in March and resulted in 50 county lines being dismantled and 35 people charged with more than 100 drug and human trafficking offences, Cambridgeshire Police said.

Border officer from Minnesota charged with possession of child pornography
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer from Minnesota has been charged with possession of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota. According to the criminal complaint filed in federal court on Friday, the officer, identified as a 52-year-old Minnetonka man, "Did knowingly possess one or more matters" which contained visuals of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct in or around January 2023. The man made his initial appearance in federal court on Friday and was ordered by a judge to remain in custody pending future proceedings. "In recent months, we have seen a rash of agents, officers, and public officials engaging in crimes against children," Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson said in a written statement. Special Agent in Charge Alvin M. Winston Sr. of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Minneapolis said there have been multiple arrests in recent months involving people in positions of authority charged with exploiting children. "Let one thing be clear: position and power will not shield you from accountability," Winston said. "If you harm a child, the FBI and our law enforcement partners will find you. And no matter who you are, we will bring you to justice." If you know of a child who may have been a victim of exploitation, call the National Center for Missing or Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 or visit the website.
