A DRUG dealer was sentenced to six years in prison after admitting to 18 counts of trafficking.

Robert Johnson, 29, of Vaughan Road, West Harrow, was arrested in April after a six-month operation by the Metropolitan police's clubs and vice squad.

The investigation led officers to The Fridge, a nightclub in Lambeth.

At Middlesex Crown Court, Johnson, a painter, admitted supplying cocaine, ecstasy tablets, amphetamine sulphate and ketamine and was sentenced on Monday.

The Right Honourable Judge Chapple described Johnson was a "professional drug dealer, and a commercial drug supplier of considerable experience".

"Class-A drugs ruin lives," the judge told him.
