A GANG of dealers have admitted playing a part in selling cocaine across Southend after they were arrested in dramatic raids.
All four gang members admitted conspiring to supply cocaine to drug users in Southend between December 2020 and April this year.
They appeared in court yesterday and will be sentenced “as soon as possible.”
Jason Balding, Gary Salvin, Daniel Deadman and Tony Carter were arrested by Essex Police when the force carried out dawn raids at a number of homes in Southend on April 10 this year.
Judge Andrew Hurst agreed with prosecuting barrister Adam Budworth to adjourn the sentencing hearing until all basis of pleas had been submitted by the men, due by the end of June.
