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.

Police break up major county lines drug network
A county lines police drug operation resulted in 51 arrests and 35 individuals charged with more than 100 offences, a police force said. Operation Hypernova, which took place last month, saw officers carry out more than 30 dawn raids across Cambridgeshire, including Cambridge, Peterborough, Ely and St Ives, as well as in Newmarket in Suffolk and in London. Police said weeks of intelligence gathering on those bringing in class A drugs resulted in shutting down 50 active drug lines and seizing an estimated £55,000 of illegal drugs. Several weapons were also seized, including knives and machetes, the force said. A significant number of criminal assets - including £57,000 in cash, more than £8,000 in crypto currency and high-end designer watches and luxury trainers - were also recovered. The operation also saw 28 individuals identified and protected from further exploitation, many of whom were vulnerable young people and adults being used by criminal gangs to transport and sell drugs. Det Insp Dan Miller said: "This operation continues to focus on those people who come into our county and exploit vulnerable people, be they drug users or vulnerable children and encourage them into selling or using drugs. "Once again, we have significantly disrupted organised criminal networks across the county who are profiting from the exploitation of vulnerable people and the misery caused by illegal drugs." Now in its third year, Operation Hypernova has resulted in a total of 149 arrests, 134 drug lines closed as well as several jail sentences, police said.
