A drug dealer who sold cocaine in Worthing to fund his lavish lifestyle has been jailed for five years.

Louis Seyfi bought designer clothes, a BMW car with a personalised number plate and high spec mountain bikes using the money he made, Lewes Crown Court was told.

The 25-year-old was arrested when police raided his home in Chancton View Road, Worthing, in October 2021.

Officers seized cash, cocaine and mobile phones.

Seyfi was sentenced to three years in prison for supplying cocaine and a further two years for similar offences in 2019.

Detective Constable Jon Freeman from Sussex Police said: "While a quantity of cash and drugs were found at Seyfi’s address, the true extent of his drug-dealing activity was proven through expert mobile phone analysis, and the jury took just over an hour to find him guilty.

"Seyfi showed no intention to change his ways or learn from his mistakes, as he continued to commit offences having been convicted and awaiting sentence for the 2019 investigation."
