Two drug dealers have been jailed after police found 500 grams of heroin and loaded guns during a south London raid.
Dean Vincent, 27, of Battersea, and Reyon Vincent, 28, of Gipsy Hill, were sentenced to nine-and-a-half and six years imprisonment, on Thursday, March 7.
On June 30, 2022, officers carried out a drug warrant at the address on Heyford Avenue, Vauxhall, associated with Dean Vincent, a known gang member.
Moments before, they had watched Reyon Vincent, who is not biologically related to Dean, enter the address with numerous bags.
Reyon left the property, got back in the minicab he’d arrived in, before being stopped by police who found cannabis and 123 grams of heroin in his waistband.
Officers then searched the property and, in a communal cupboard, found 369 grams of heroin in the bags they suspected had been dropped off.
In the same cupboard, police uncovered a loaded handgun and loaded revolver hidden at the bottom of a brown Primark bag full of clothes.
Further searches of the property revealed £2,000 worth of cannabis, a large hunting knife, a zombie knife and counterfeit cash.
Behind the kitchen kickboards, police also found thirteen rounds of 9mm ammunition and four blocks of heroin weighing 399 grams.
Reyon was arrested, charged and remanded in custody that same day but Dean was not at his address.
Police tracked him down to an address in Iver, near Slough, on Friday, January 12, where he was found in possession of his passport and £9,000 cash.
Following a trial at Inner London Crown Court, on Friday, January 12, Dean Vincent was found guilty of possession of two firearms and possession with intent to supply heroin and possession of criminal property (cash).
Reyon Vincent admitted to being a drug dealer, having been been convicted of supplying class A drugs and possession of a knife in 2017.
He was found guilty of possession with intent to supply heroin found at the Heyford Avenue address on June 30, 2022.
On Thursday, March 7, Dean Vincent was jailed for nine and half years, to serve half on licence, while Reyon Vincent was jailed for six years, also to serve half on licence.
