During a hearing at Derby Crown Court on November 10, Hussein was handed a three-year jail term.
Detective Constable Shaun Carter, officer in the case, said: “Dealers like Hussein are a scourge on the communities they inhabit as they bring associated crime, violence, and exploitation, along with the very real and devastating effects that class A drug addiction can have on users and their families.
“We will continue to work tirelessly to disrupt those who bring drugs into Derbyshire and are pleased with this result, which ensures the streets of Derby are that bit safer.”
