Drug dealer punched three women at nightclub

Klaidas Weekes, 21, was jailed for three years and three months at Cambridge Crown Court

A drug dealer who admitted assaulting three women in a nightclub and knocking one unconscious has been jailed.

Klaidas Weekes was accused of attacking a woman and two of her friends at the Red Room in Broadway, Peterborough, on 5 August.

The 21-year-old had been pushed by the woman after making an "unwanted advance", police said.

Weekes, of Winns Avenue, Walthamstow, east London, was sentenced to three years and three months in prison at Cambridge Crown Court.

Later that year, police carried out a warrant at a flat in Mountbatten Way, Westwood, Peterborough – an address police said Weekes was using for drug dealing.

A search of the flat uncovered heroin and crack cocaine with a street value of £400, as well as drugs paraphernalia, cash and six mobile phones, officers said.

On Wednesday, Weekes was sentenced after admitting to being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine, possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, acquiring criminal property, two counts of assault causing actual bodily harm and a third count of assault.

Det Con Alicia Swift said: “Violence against women and girls is a force priority and public harassment and violence is not acceptable."
