Rugby drug dealer jailed after being caught with cocaine with a street value of £30,000

Marius Islamaj has been jailed after being seen taking part in a suspected drug deal in the town.

In October 2025, he was seen by an officer and arrested.

His house was later searched where over 330 grams of cocaine (estimated to be worth more than £30,000 in street value) were located.

The 30-year-old was charged and remanded, where he pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs - cocaine.

He was sentenced last week to three years and two months’ imprisonment.

Following the sentencing, investigating officer Detective Constable Matthew Rapkins said: “Those who are involved in the supply of drugs ruin lives.

"They have no regard for the harm they cause to vulnerable people and to our communities.

“We will continue to relentlessly target and disrupt those who profit from exploitation.”
