A Cambridge drug dealer has been ordered to handover £679K or face further jail time.
A Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) hearing held at Huntingdon Crown Court on Wednesday 5 February 2025 ordered 36-year-old Maroof Rahman to pay £30,918.86 within three months or face two further years in prison.
He must also pay back a further £648,468.26 upon his release from prison.
Detectives at Cambridgeshire Constabulary raided Maroof Rahman’s home on Mill Road and another property in Birdwood Road in August 2022, where they discovered cocaine, cannabis, along with equipment for the production of drugs and multiple mobile phones.
They also found almost £18,000 in cash as well as a firearm and live ammunition.
At the time of his arrest, Rahman was on licence for a previous six-year sentence handed to him in July 2018 for drug related offences.
At Peterborough Crown Court on 23 August 2024, Rahman was sentenced to 13 years and eight months in prison.
