A 22-year-old man has been jailed for over six years after admitting
possessing significant amounts of Class A drugs.
Yash Kotecha, formerly of Nethershire Lane, Sheffield, appeared at
Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday 5 March to be sentenced after pleading
guilty to two counts of possession of a controlled drug with intent to
supply.
He was sentenced to six years and four months in prison.
On 19 November 2018, officers from Sheffield’s Tasking Team executed a
warrant at a property in Foundry Court, Burngreave.
Inside, significant quantities of cocaine, MDMA, LSD and cannabis with a
street value of over £20,000.
At the time of his arrest, Kotecha was already subject to a suspended
jail sentence, having been convicted of similar offences in 2017.
PC Gareth Webb, the investigating officer, said: “Kotecha continued to
engage in drug-related criminality, despite the fact that he was on a
suspended sentence for similar offending.
“He continued to deal Class A and B drugs across Sheffield in huge
amounts and was making large sums of money from doing so.
“This lengthy prison sentence should be a warning to others engaged in
drug supply in Sheffield that we are absolutely dedicated to finding you
and bringing you before the courts.”
