A pair of drug dealers and a man sentenced after a stabbing in Lowestoft are just some of those who have been jailed in Norfolk this week.
Here's a few of the people jailed across the county over the past seven days.
James Willis, 29
James Willis, of Fisherman's Drive, March, Cambridgeshire, was jailed for three years after pleading guilty to two counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs in Thetford between June 26 and July 2, 2020.
Following an investigation by the Breckland Neighbourhood Policing Team, Willis was arrested at an address in Bury Road, Stanton, on Wednesday, July 1, 2020.
Officers attending the property seized cocaine, cash, drug paraphernalia and mobile phones which had been used to advertise the sale of Class A drugs in the Thetford area.
Willis was sentenced at Norwich Crown Court on Thursday, March 3.
Kane Platten, 33
Kane Platten, of New College Close, Gorleston, was jailed for five years after he admitted having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Platten had started to engage the victim in sexual conversation, asking if she would have sex with someone who was 30 when, at the time, he was 29.
John Morgans, prosecuting, said the victim was "scared" and "worried" and did not respond but was taken by Platten, now 33, to a bedroom where he got on top of her and had sex.
Platten was sentenced at a hearing at Norwich Crown Court on Wednesday, March 9.
Ryan Page, 23
Ryan Page, of no fixed address, was jailed following a stabbing in Lowestoft.
Page was sentenced to eight years and one month in prison for causing grievous bodily harm and 27 weeks’ imprisonment for possession of the bladed weapon, to be served concurrently.
The incident happened in Yeovil Road near East Coast College in Lowestoft after a fight broke out between a group of men late on the evening of Saturday, May 1, 2021.
A 21-year-old man was hit on the back of the head with a glass bottle and suffered a single stab wound to the chest.
Page was charged with two counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place, namely a knife.
On March 4, Page appeared at Ipswich Crown Court where he denied one charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent but pleaded guilty to the other offences.
