He was jailed for three years in 2018 for the exact same crimes
A Nottingham father-of-two is to spend Christmas , and at least one more, behind bars after being found with heroin and crack cocaine. A trial at Nottingham Crown Court heard how officers stopped a car Sizwa Sibanda was driving in the city and on him were the two types of drugs.
Jailing him for five years, Recorder Simon King KC said: “Both of these offences took place some time ago when you were stopped in your car on December 5, 2021 and a number of wraps of heroin and crack cocaine were found. This is not the first time you have been convicted of these offences because in 2018 you were sent to prison for three years for possession with intent to supply class A drugs and those previous convictions seriously aggravate your case.
Mark Harris, mitigating, said: “He has two young children who he cares for emotionally and financially and he has been working. These offences are - almost to the day - three years old having taken place in December 2021 and during those three years he has been living a law-abiding life.
