Zamal pleaded guilty to two offences of possession of a class A drug with intent to supply and one of possession of a class B drug with intent to supply.

Andrea Parnham, mitigating, said Zamal became involved in drug dealing after he began using cocaine and built up a debt over £6,000.

Miss Parnham said Zamal was offered the chance to settle the debt by selling the drugs for his supplier.

She added that Zamal had taken steps to stop his drug habit since the offences and was being supported by his family.

Zamal was jailed for two years, nine months.

He was also ordered to pay £1,671 under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
