3. Drug dealer jailed after exploiting vulnerable teens
Hussein Abdulkadir admitted to two offences of being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine in August and September 2022.

They were arrested and found in possession of a large amount of cash, Class A drugs, a machete and knuckle duster.
