A Streatham criminal who supplied a total of 42.7 kilos of cocaine and heroin to drug dealers in south London has been jailed.

Tishan Hewitt, 28, (right) was investigated by officers from the Organised Crime Partnership (OCP), a joint National Crime Agency and Metropolitan Police Service unit.

They arrested Hewitt at his Streatham home in January this year, after he made three separate handovers of drugs packed into reusable shopping bags.
