Staffordshire Police report that a cocaine dealer who was caught with an estimated £4,500-worth of drugs in his home has been jailed.
Erion Kakuli, 25, of Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, was sentenced to three-years-and-four-months behind bars at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Wednesday (20 August) after he previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and possession of criminal property.
Police arrested him in June after getting reports that he had been involved in a drug deal on the Scotia Road car-park in Burslem. He was stopped on Broad Street and taken to custody for questioning.
When police searched his flat in Hanley, they found cocaine that had been sorted into individual deals, as well as £255 in cash.
The total estimated value of the drugs seized was believed to be between £3,800 and £4,500.
The police say they are continuing to act proactively against those responsible for high harm crimes in our communities, including drug supply, criminal exploitation and serious violence.
As part of Operation Target the police have arrested more than 350 suspects between June last year and June this year alone – and more will be coming.
The post box in Goldenhill next to the Londis/Post Office has a sign saying “Out of Service, Automated System Coming Soon”.

The Londis/Post Office on High Street, Goldenhill have confirmed that residents wishing to post letters can still do so by taking them inside the store.
What will the new look post box look like, and here is an example.

Another driver was reported for having no insurance, three were reported for having no tax, two were reported for driving without a licence and three vehicles were seized for having no MOT.
Inspector Victoria Ison, from the Stoke-on-Trent north local policing team, said: “This was a successful operation which has seen vehicles seized and drivers reported for vehicle-related offences.
“We do not underestimate the impact that such offences have on local communities.”
We remain committed to tackling the issues affecting local communities and businesses the most as part of our Making Great Places initiative.
We’re building the intelligence needed to focus specifically on these main issues in a joint initiative with Stoke-on-Trent City Council, to target crime and to make the city a cleaner, safer and greener place for people to live, work and visit.

There are proposals to build up to 400 houses with a possibility of a further 450 vehicles on our roads, although where this is happening on the Hollywall Lane/Broadfield Road Estate there is no representation of members on Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association.
The residents association makes and steers decision making in the area not only with new developments, but bettering the environment we live in. It also liaises with the council and police as well as bringing the community together with its annual Goldenhill Fun Day.
If any resident within the area wishes to join a residents group which has been in existence for 26 years, then please make contact, you’re more than welcome to join us.
There are vacancies for residents to join the community speedwatch team in Sandyford & Goldenhill.
There are too many speeding drivers coming through the Sandyford & Golenhill area, and more volunteers are needed. The scheme is supported by Staffordshire Police, and areas targeted are High Street through Goldenhill and Sandyford as well as future areas along Reginald Mitchell Way in Sandyford.
We often here residents complaining about speeding vehicles driving through our area, so now is the opportunity for you to join the group to try and put things right by addressing this ongoing issue.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
A lady from Hanley visited this year’s Goldenhill Fun Day on Saturday 2nd August with her two daughters, who said “it was the best day they’d ever had“, adding they were entertained from start to finish. It was a lovely day and well done to everyone involved.
Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association have held the Goldenhill Fun Day since it first started in 2007. The day attracts visitors not only from Sandyford & Goldenhill, but also from other parts of the city.
Preparing for the annual fun day starts as soon as the New Year begins, although a demanding project to organise, it is well worth it when seeing the happy smiling faces of the children, along with their parents and grandparents.
