Drug Dealer Sentenced After £160,000 Found in Bag

Samuel De Vere-Hunt, a 30-year-old drug kingpin, was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being caught in a large-scale international police operation using EncroChat. He laundered over £6 million and supplied hundreds of kilos of MDMA, ketamine, and cannabis in London, with police seizing over £179,000 in cash and 33kg of drugs at his home in Essex. De Vere-Hunt’s girlfriend, Rosie Wise, received a suspended 21-month sentence as his accomplice. This operation reflects the Met’s commitment to dismantling organized crime and reducing drug-related violence in London.
