Huntingdon Man Jailed Thanks To Eagle-eyed Off-duty Officer

A man has been sent to prison after he was spotted dealing drugs by an off-duty police officer.

Shaun Chamberlain was seen handing over drugs in Drovers Place, Huntingdon on 6 October.

The off-duty officer contacted the force control room but Chamberlain couldn’t be located.

Using a detailed description given to them, the Huntingdon neighbourhood team spotted Chamberlain wearing the same clothes and riding the same bike the following day.

He was arrested and found with class A drugs and cash. A further search of his accommodation revealed further drugs.

Chamberlain, 29, of no fixed abode was sentenced to two years and four months in prison at Peterborough Crown Court after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of class B drugs, two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and possession of criminal property.
