Gino Terence Cammish-Flemming was sentenced to two years and 10 months in a Young Offender Institution at York Crown Court today (Tuesday 6 February 2024).
The 19-year-old from St Johns Road, Scarborough, had previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and cannabis, and possession of a bladed article in a public place.
The charges relate to proactive police activity on the afternoon of Tuesday 19 September last year.
Working on information that Cammish-Flemming was dealing drugs in the Scarborough area, Operation Expedite officers spotted him near Hackness Road and he was located inside The Rosette pub.
As they approached him, Cammish-Flemming stood up and attempted to pull a 12-inch knife from the back of his trousers.
Thankfully, the officers quickly apprehended him, secured the knife and placed him under arrest.
Cammish-Flemming was found to be in possession of 63 wraps of cocaine, multiple bags of cannabis and £800 in cash.
Detective Constable Darrel Temple, of the Operation Expedite team in Scarborough, said:
“To have his liberty taken away after being caught dealing Class A and Class B drugs, and being in possession of a large knife, will hopefully serve as massive wake-up call for this young man.
“This is a chance for him to turn his life around and step away from the harm and misery associated with drug-related crime.
“If he or other drug dealers think they can continue to operate freely in our area, we will use all available powers to take them off our streets.”
Anyone with any information about suspected drug-related crime are urged to make a report via the North Yorkshire Police website or by calling 101, select option 4, and speak to the Force Control Room.
Always dial 999 if an emergency response is required.
