THREE 'county lines' drug dealers who travelled to North Yorkshire to sell drugs have been jailed for a combined total of more than 58 years after stabbing a man in Harrogate.
Mohamed Abdi, 26, of Tower Street, Leicester, Adirahman Shire, 22, of Oak Street, Leicester, and Julian Soares, 23, of Brixton, London, were found guilty of wounding by intent to cause grievous bodily harm and conspiracy to supply cocaine on Tuesday, October 16, following a two-week trial at Leeds Crown Court. Abdi pleaded guilty the conspiracy to supply cocaine charge midway through the trial.
Soares received sentences totalling 29 years including two concurrent sentences of eight years for conspiracies to supply cocaine and heroin, meaning he will serve 20 years in prison.
Shire was jailed for 15 years and Abdi for 14 years and nine months.
A charge of administering a noxious substance relates to an attack on Kings Road when a 37-year-old man from Harrogate had a corrosive liquid thrown in his face.
