Two drug dealers jailed after shotgun found in Grays

Two men found in possession of Class A drugs have been given 10 years in prison between them. 

Police found the illegal substance as well as two knives and a self-loading pump action shotgun when they searched 33-year-old Jimmy Mukendi’s grey BMW in Grays High Street.

They later found a further £15,000 in a baby bag in his loft and another £1,000 in the lounge. 

He was first spotted driving away from Keanu Hill, 23, who was stopped and searched after behaving suspiciously.

Hill reportedly became hostile towards the officers and tried to snatch his bag away from them. 

Mukendi, from Chigwell, pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of a Class A drug with intent to supply, possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm when prohibited for five years and two counts of possessing a knife in a public place. He was jailed for seven years.

Hill, of Grays, was charged and pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply the Class A drug crack cocaine. He was jailed for three years. 

Jimmy Mukendi and Keanu Hill have both been jailed.

PC Rory Phillips of the West Operation Raptor team said: “Both Mukendi and Hill clearly thought they could get away with dealing Class A drugs on the streets of our county but they were wrong.

“We were ready and waiting for both of them and they are now behind bars where they belong.

“For anyone who thinks gang life or drug dealing is glamorous this case serves as a reminder that violence and weapons go hand in hand with this lifestyle. You will be expected to carry weapons and perpetrate violence and you could be on the receiving end of both.”

Mukendi and Hill were sentenced at Basildon Crown Court on Wednesday, 28 November.
