Drug Dealer Jailed For 10½ Years

A drug dealer has been jailed for 10½ years by Jersey's Royal Court.

Alexander Ferguson, who's 37,  was convicted of supplying cocaine following a trial last November.

The drugs had an estimated value of £31,000 - £62,000.

Drugs Squad officers executed a warrant in February 2020 at an address in Les Quennevais and arrested a 31 year old man. Fernando Costa was sentenced earlier this year to seven years in prison for drugs offences.

A mobile phone seized at the time of the raid showed 'a high level of contact' between Costa and Ferguson.

Data recovered linked Ferguson to the supply of cocaine between May 2019 and February 2020.

Ferguson was arrested in August 2020 on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of cocaine and for money laundering offences.

He was charged in January 2021 with drug trafficking offences and found guilty at trial last November.

“We will continue to work hard to ensure we keep illegal drugs off our Island’s streets and see those who deal in the misery these drugs bring put before the courts.” -Detective Sergeant Jim McGranahan.
