A man from Leicester has been sentenced to three years in jail after being convicted of drug offences.

32 year-old Sean Robert Downs pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply of cocaine, was sentenced at Leicester Crown Court 

PC Chris Blount from Beaumont Leys local policing unit said: “This is a very good result. It is clear from the investigation that Downs was flaunting his wealth which was obtained from dealing cocaine. The amount of cocaine seized on the day of his arrest is not reflective of the amounts he was moving.”

During the investigation police discovered that Downs may have had access to the following vehicles but unfortunately the vehicles have not been located:

• A black Volkswagen Golf R32 registered SF57VFD

• A grey Yamaha YZF R1 motorcycle registered FN13XBC

• A silver Vauxhall Astra car derived van registered KG56AEN. The van has black and red writing on the side with the web address www.sddiagnostics.co.uk across the side

Sergeant Dave Thompson added: “It is suspected that these vehicles were purchased by Downs with money gained by dealing drugs. Anyone with knowledge of their whereabouts is urged to contact the police as soon as possible. If anyone is found to be deliberately concealing the vehicles from the police they could find themselves subject of a police investigation.
