Cash, drugs and machete seized
POLICE have thanked residents for their ‘complaints’ after a trio of Hillingdon drug crooks were jailed for more than 10 years in total.
In April, officers raided a property in Chiswick carrying out enquiries for a wanted offender when they were met with hostility from the occupants. Inside they found a large quantity of class A and class B controlled drugs, cash, and weapons including a machete.
Following lab tests, the class A narcotics on the premises were found to have a combined street value of £1,880. Gareth Farmer was sentenced to three years imprisonment. Over £3,000 in cash was also found in the address along with a large quantity of cannabis.
Now Gareth Farmer, Sammy-Jo Johnson, and Abdi Mohammed have been sentenced at Isleworth
Crown Court to more than 10 years in prison for drug supply offences. Due to the overwhelming evidence against them, all three defendants pleaded guilty.

DC Lucy Baldwin, who led the investigation, said “The sentences of these individuals reflects the serious nature of the crime and the impact drug dealing has on the wider community.
“I’d like to thank the local residents for persevering with their complaints both directly to the police and to Crimestoppers anonymously, this enabled us to focus our attention on this address and bring these offenders to justice”
Inspector Dan Thompson added: “Once again this shows our utter determination to arrest and convict drug dealers who are causing such damage to our communities.
“Operation Wolverine and the Gangs Unit have achieved a great outcome which should reassure our residents that we are actively targeting those who cause the most harm.”
Now Gareth Farmer, 29 of Ennismore Avenue, Chiswick, was sentenced to three years imprisonment. Sammy-Jo Johnson, 31 of Ennismore Avenue, Chiswick, was sentenced to two years and four months imprisonment.
And Abdi Mohammed, 25 of Norman Crescent, Hounslow, was jailed for four years and nine months.
