The final member of a drugs gang involved in a confrontation with another dealer who was stabbed to death in Norfolk has been sentenced for drugs offences.

Cameron Grant, 20, was just 16 when he was part of a gang supplying class A drugs in Thetford in 2019.

He appeared at Norwich Crown Court on Friday (May 26) when he admitted two counts of conspiracy to supply cocaine and heroin in the town between April 1 2019 and November 21 2019.

Grant, from London, was sentenced to 27 months detention in a young offenders instutute (YOI) by Judge Alice Robinson who described hm as performing a "significant role" in the conspiracy.

Stephen Moses, representing Grant, said his client was only 16 at the time with no previous convictions but had since "turned his life around".

Grant was part of a drugs gang which was involved in a violent confrontation with David Lawal who was stabbed to death after also supplying drugs in the town.
