Two Rugby Men Sentenced for Cocaine Dealing After Police Arrest

Two cocaine dealers have been jailed after being spotted making sales by our detectives. On Wednesday 4 March at around 6:15pm, our detectives spotted a Nissan Qashqai with two passengers parked up on Deepmore Road in Rugby.

They watched as a man approached the vehicle and took part in a drug deal. The detectives called for assistance, and with other vehicles arriving proceeded to block the driver of the Nissan from leaving.

The driver, 33-year-old Ardian Beqiri, and the passenger, 35-year-old Kadri Kaja, were both arrested. On the phone of Beqiri were messages showing that he was being directed towards locations, which was suspected as being for the purpose of drug sales.

In Kaja’s pockets, our officers found eight more deal bags of cocaine. A search of the house where the men lived found a solid lump of cocaine weighing 20 grammes, 12 deal bags of cocaine, a bag of cannabis, digital scales, and a “tick list” (used to track who owes money to the dealers).

On 24 June, Ardian Beqiri, 33 of no fixed abode, was jailed for two years for being concerned in the supply of cocaine. Kadri Kaja, 35 of Wentworth Road in Rugby, was jailed for three years for possession of cocaine with intent to supply.

DC Rapkins said “Kaja and Beqiri were spotted making sales on a street in Rugby – they had no idea we were there until we trapped their car. “If you’re out selling drugs to our communities, just remember – we could be anywhere, at any time, ready to step in.” Share
