Debnath was charged with possession with intent to supply class A drugs and on Wednesday 5th March he was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison at Teesside Crown Court.
PC James Aldcoin, from Middlesbrough Proactive Team, said: “This is another example of police ridding the streets of Middlesbrough of class A drugs and those who peddle them and make others lives a misery.
“It won’t be tolerated and we are out there, day after day, looking to remove drug dealers from our communities and bring them to justice.”
