Nigel Hollands, a drug dealer with multiple convictions, has been sentenced to prison for the third time after repeatedly supplying cocaine in the Eastbourne area.
In June 2022, Hollands was apprehended when police discovered messages indicative of Class A drug supply on another person’s mobile phone. Believing these messages originated from Hollands’ phone, officers conducted a search on Beach Road, Eastbourne, leading to the discovery of the incriminating phone in his possession.
Subsequently, he was arrested and released pending further investigation.
In July 2023, Hollands faced charges related to his involvement in the supply of cocaine and the possession of criminal proceeds. On August 18, during his appearance at Lewes Crown Court, the 37-year-old defendant pleaded guilty to both offenses.
On Friday, October 6, he was handed a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for his actions.
