Pair jailed for conspiracy to sell Class A drugs

Curtis Seymour, 29, and Billroy Marembo, 27, were sentenced at Peterborough Crown Court

Two men have been jailed for conspiring to sell Class A drugs.

Curtis Seymour, 29, and Billroy Marembo, 27, were among five men arrested across Peterborough in connection with county lines drug dealing on 1 August 2023.

Seymour, of Lowick Gardens, Peterborough, was given a sentence of 40 months and 14 days, while Marembo of Adderley, Peterborough, was handed a sentence of 32 months and 14 days.

Cambridgeshire Police said the pair were linked to "deal lines" through mobile phone activity and were sentenced on Friday at Peterborough Crown Court after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine and conspiracy to supply heroin.

The other three men were not found guilty following a trial.

Det Con Jenny Hargreaves said: "Seymour and Marembo were significant members of this conspiracy, as shown by their connection to the substantial amounts of phone data uncovered.

"County lines can bring misery to communities and often involve the exploitation of the young and vulnerable.

"I am glad that we were able to uncover this operation and cause some disruption to drugs supply in the county."
