A mother and son who were drug dealing from their home which contained more than £3,500 worth of drugs have been sentenced.
Cambridgeshire Police raided the home of Louise and Kevin Wells in Granby Street, Littleport in October 2019 after suspecting drugs were being dealt from the property.
Officers found cocaine, crack cocaine and cannabis worth more than £3,500 in Kevin’s bedroom, along with other drug paraphernalia and £585 in cash.
Louise’s mobile phone was also seized as officers found multiple text messages linking her to dealing class A drugs.
Kevin, 35, was sentenced to two years and six months at Cambridge Crown Court on January 24 after previously pleading guilty to two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A and class B drugs.
Louise, 53, pleaded guilty to one count of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and was handed a year-long community order.
Detective Constable Matt Smith, who investigated, said: “We will continue to target those who illegally sell drugs within our community.

Kevin Wells is currently serving 10 years for attempted robbery and possession of a knife after being sentenced last July.
Wells smashed his way through a back door at a house in Kingdon Avenue, Prickwillow, before stabbing two men, Peterborough Crown Court heard.
“Where is my money, I want my £20,” he shouted, before stabbing one man in the leg and the other in their hand.
Both men were discharged from hospital the next day.
The court heard that the assault took place while a seven-year-old boy watched on, before Wells, of Ely Road, Prickwillow, fled the area.
A woman went with Wells to the house.
She pleaded guilty to attempted robbery and given a two-year community order, and was ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.
Sergeant Michael Gray said: “Wells chose to carry a knife not just to frighten but to use, all over a dispute over £20.
“The consequences could’ve been fatal.”
