A STREET dealer has been sentenced to 40 months behind bars as part of Dorset Police’s biggest-ever crackdown on drugs.
Adam Larkin, 22, from Bournemouth, is one of the last to be sentenced under Operation Moped.
The initiative started last summer, and saw 38 people convicted.
But since then a further 47 arrests have been made and 35 vehicles seized in the area.
Larkin received a prison sentence for supplying class A drug cocaine on the streets of Boscombe.
Chris Weeks, Dorset Police Regeneration Inspector for Boscombe, told the Daily Echo: “Our communities told us that on-street drug dealing and anti-social behaviour is a real day to day concern and we acted.
“One of the results is the high number of arrests and convictions achieved through Operation Moped.”
