Three men who took part in a conspiracy to supply cocaine in Ipswich will be sentenced after a judge hears evidence about their involvement in December.

Before Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday via a prison video link were Azem Ferizolli, 22, of Woodward Road, Dagenham, Halit Ferizolli, 33, of Woodrush Way, Romford, and Genart Loca, 21, of Valence Circus, Dagenham. 

They pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to conspiracy to supply cocaine in the Suffolk town and their sentencing will take place after Judge Martyn Levett hears evidence between December 16 and 23 this year about their involvement.

Last year, five other defendants who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine between December 2020 and July 2022 were jailed for a total of 15 years.

They were: Avenis Dida, 22, of no fixed address who was jailed for 32 months, Hayg Boduryan, 33, of Freehold Road, Ipswich who was jailed for four years, Kastriot Rexha, 24, of no fixed address who was jailed for 32 months; Arxhend Bera, 18, of Ipswich Street, Stowmarket who was jailed for 30 months and Artan Kastrati, 33, of Hanworth Road, Hounslow, who was jailed for 38 months.

Also before the court on that occasion was Elvis Ferizolli, 18, of Ipswich Street, Stowmarket, who admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine and was given 18 months of youth detention which was suspended for two years, 100 hours of unpaid work and a 30-day rehabilitation activity requirement,

The court heard that police officers who raided a house in Freehold Road in Ipswich, which was being used as a “distribution centre”, found 500 wraps of drugs with a street value of about £20,000, five mobile phones and £12,000 in cash.
