Drug dealer to lose house after failing to pay back money
Aubin Hutchinson earned almost £620,000 from his criminal activities
A drug dealer has had his prison sentence extended by more than two years after failing to pay back the money he made.
Aubin Hutchinson, 42, was jailed for 13 and a half years in January 2022 after earning almost £620,000 from the operation between south London and Havant and Waterlooville.
His house in Croydon will now be sold to repay the money.
Four people were sentenced at Portsmouth Crown Court in relation to the drugs network, known as the 'God' line.
At a confiscation hearing at Portsmouth Crown Court in March, it was decided Aubin was able to pay back more than £380,000 from his current assets, including his home.
At a hearing on 1 September, it was discovered Aubin had only paid back about £70,000.
This included a Green Lamborghini Spyder Gallardo which was sold at auction for more than £50,000 and more than £18,000 in cash seized by officers when Aubin was arrested.
As a result of not paying back the full amount available, a further sentence of 895 days was added to his time left to serve in prison.
An enforcement receiver will now be assigned to sell the house on his behalf to make sure the full amount owed is repaid.
Different agencies, including the police, receive a proportion of the funds recovered from criminal activity and use this to support vulnerable people, helping them turn away from drug use.
Detective Superintendent Nick Plummer, Head of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary's Serious and Organised Crime Unit, said: "The outcome of this hearing demonstrates how we will continue to pursue drug dealers for the assets they obtain as a result of their criminal activity.
"Drug dealing usually involving the exploitation of the young and vulnerable and causes harm across our communities."
