Excellent result for Operation Expedite Proactive Team in Scarborough for securing justice against cocaine dealer Joshua Charles William Kilpatrick.
The 32-year-old, originally from Whitby, was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment at York Crown Court yesterday (7 Nov) after he had pleaded guilty to being concerned in offering to supply a Class A drug and possessing cocaine with intent to supply.
The offences occurred in Scarborough between March and October this year.
Detective Constable Darrel Temple, the officer in the case, said:
“This is a satisfying outcome for the investigation and demonstrates once again our commitment to clamping down hard on drug dealers and the misery they cause in our communities.
“As ever, we’re very grateful for the vital information that is passed to us by concerned residents via reporting on the North Yorkshire Police website, by calling 101, or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
“If you see something suspicious that could be drugs-related activity, trust your instinct and report it. You can be assured that we will take action.”
