A cocaine dealer has been put behind bars for nearly four years after police found drug cutting equipment at his Hammersmith home.
Michael Restrepo was jailed for 45 months for possession of cocaine after pleading guilty to production of cocaine at Isleworth Crown Court on March 6.
The 32-year-old was arrested at an address in Shepherd's Bush after Safer Neighbourhoods officers from Hammersmith and Fulham Town Centre Team became suspicious when they discovered cocaine and cannabis at the address.
He was arrested for possession with intent to supply and after officers searched his home address in Richford Gate, Hammersmith, they found a set of electronic scales, a large hydraulic press, latex gloves and press plates and various quantities and blocks of compressed white powder which was a cutting agent for cocaine. Traces of cocaine were also found on the press.
