A Derby dad with a history of convictions for drugs has been jailed dealing cocaine and heroin on the city's streets.

Derby Crown Court heard how officers found wraps of both class A substances when they carried out a raid a Kyle Noon’s Sinfin home.

Also at the property was a dealer list showing he was owed £3,600 by his customers.

In an attempt to spare Noon being sent straight to prison, his barrister told the court that imprisonment would have a serious impact on his partner and their two children.

The judge was unimpressed, however, and the father-of-two was sent to prison.

The 33-year-old, who has 13 previous convictions for 20 offences, refused to answer any question put to him at police interview after being arrested.

And when they carried out a second raid at Noon’s Inveraray Close address, a year later, they found more cocaine.

Jailing him for 30 months, Judge Nirmal Shant QC said: “Mr Noon it is right to say that those who peddle class A drugs with intent to supply can face nothing other than custody and, I am sorry to say, that remains the position in your case.

“It is right to say the amount of drugs recovered were limited what is evident from the list was that you were dealing to a number of people and there were two types of drugs.

“You past convictions show you are a user of drugs on a regular basis.”

Sarah Allen, prosecuting, said the first warrant was executed on February 18, 2019, at Noon’s home.

She said four wraps of heroin were found which weighed almost 12g and had a street value of between £330 and £385.

Miss Allen said five wraps of cocaine were also discovered which had an estimated street value of between £500 and £550.

She said: “In addition to the drugs the police recovered a set of scales which had traces of cocaine on it and a lost which totalled £3,600.

“There were 16 different numbers on it and mobile phones seized showed arrangements had been made the previous day to sell £40 of drugs.”

Miss Allen said Noon answered “no comment” to the questions he was asked in interview.

But he later pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

James Beck, mitigating, said his client lived at the address with his partner, who attended the court hearing, and their two children.

He asked the judge to consider possibly suspending any immediate term of imprisonment.

He said: “No-one is suggesting he is not a drug dealer but the evidence suggests it is towards the bottom end of drug dealing.

“On March 5, 2020, a further warrant was executed and a much smaller amount of drugs were found compatible with personal use and he was dealt with the following day at the lower court.

“Although he has come to court today with a bag expecting to be sent immediately to custody it will have enormous repercussions on his family.”
