A 28-year-old drug dealer who ran a county line that supplied crack cocaine and heroin into Ipswich has been jailed.
Ebrima Macauley, of Frederick Street, Camden, was identified as being responsible for the running of a county line supplying class A drugs between February and July last year, when he was arrested in London.
It is estimated he was involved in the supply of more than 1kg of both heroin and crack cocaine into the Ipswich area.

As well as supplying drugs into Suffolk, Macauley also operated in the Sussex area.
Macauley had previously admitted multiple drugs supply and possession offences.
He was jailed for eight years when he appeared before Lewes Crown Court in East Sussex for sentencing last Friday.
Macauley's arrest and charge came about following a joint investigation between Suffolk police’s Serious Crime Disruption Team and the Metropolitan Police.
This was part of Operation Orochi, a collaboration between the two forces to tackle drug dealing that operates between London and Suffolk.
