Nottinghamshire Dealer Jailed for 6 Years and 6 Months After Toilet Stash Found

Police say the outcome underscores how simple tactics disrupt street-level supply.

Overview

  • Tobe Ojukwe received a six-year-and-six-month sentence at Nottingham Crown Court after pleading guilty to six Class A supply counts on Tuesday, March 31.
  • Officers executing a June 2024 warrant in Stockwell Court, Mansfield, found him on a toilet next to a bag holding 94 wraps of heroin and 37 wraps of crack cocaine.
  • The case began after an August 1, 2023 vehicle stop, when police said he drove an uninsured car and was caught with over £450 worth of heroin and crack, plus phones and cash.
  • Searches of seized phones later uncovered texts that detailed his dealing, including a message about the risk of the drug trade.
  • Nottinghamshire Police called him a persistent offender and said the sentence backs efforts to remove dealers from local communities.
