Spalding man found with £6,470 worth of cannabis has been jailed

A man who was found with thousands of pounds worth of cannabis at his home has been jailed.

Michal Jedrzejewski (27) was arrested at his home in South Parade, Spalding, on November 2 last year in connection with a separate matter.

However, upon searching the property, police discovered about £6,470 worth of cannabis in “deal bags”.

Jedrzejewski, who has previous convictions for drug offences, was charged with possession with intent to supply cannabis, which he admitted in court.

Yesterday (Monday 28 February), he appeared at Cambridge Crown Court where he was sentenced to a year and two months in prison – nine months for the latest offence, as well as an additional five months for breaching a previously suspended sentence from 2020 when he admitted producing cannabis, possession with intent to supply cannabis, careless driving, driving while disqualified, driving without insurance and obstructing police.

DC Oliver Campbell, who investigated, said: “Jedrzejewski clearly thought he’d gotten away with it after being handed a suspended prison sentence in 2020 and went back to his criminal ways.

“Drugs bring misery to our communities, not only through the associated violence and rivalry between dealers, but also through addiction, anti-social behaviour and lower-level crime.”
