In response to the sentencing, Sussex Police Detective Constable Jan Summers emphasized their stance against drug trafficking, underscoring the community’s well-being as their priority. Alum received a seven-year prison sentence, along with six penalty points and a fine exceeding £200, signaling law enforcement’s resolute efforts to combat drug-related crime.
