Magaya was arrested on Wednesday, May 4 at his home address, and was charged with being concerned in the supply of cocaine. He pleaded guilty at Hastings Magistrates’ Court the following day (May 5).
The drug raids by Sussex Police took place in Eastbourne, Hastings and London. They were supported by London’s Metropolitan Police and Surrey Police.

During the raids, around 5,000 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin were seized, along with 7kg of cocaine, 2kg of heroin, £300,000 cash and four phones which police suspect were used to run the county drug lines between Sussex, Surrey and Norwich.
