Dear Resident,

The impact of drug dealing has been a very real issue within Wisbech, which our neighbourhood teams have been working hard to tackle.

Years of persistence, intelligence gathering and cross-border working has landed two young men in prison for their parts in running a class A drugs line in the Fenland town.

Billy Venemore, 20, (left) and Fred Cook, 22, (right) appeared at Huntingdon Law Court yesterday (Thursday) where Venemore, of Laburnum Close, Wisbech, was sentenced to two years and four months in prison after previously pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine, and possession of cannabis.

Cook, of Cashel Bawn, Mill Road, West Walton, near Wisbech, was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison after previously pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin, and acquiring criminal property – namely luxury clothing.
