TAUNTON man Dawid Dankiewicz – convicted last year of drug dealing in the county town – has had more than £120,000 worth of cash and assets seized.

In November last year, the 34-year-old was jailed for 26 months after pleading guilty to 13 counts of being concerned in the supply of class C drugs and one count of possessing a class A drug.

A confiscation order for his cash and assets was granted earlier this month to the value of £120,285.79 under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

It means cash belonging to Dankiewicz, and other items including a car, could be seized from him to make sure that he is unable to profit from his criminality.

Taunton Neighbourhood Policing Sgt Daryl Screech said: “Dawid Dankiewicz was jailed last autumn for several drug offences after a warrant was carried out.

“Work through our Financial Investigation Unit was able to prove he had profited significantly from his criminality.

“We believe it is really important not to just be robust in putting drug dealers in prison, but making sure we follow that up with confiscation orders to ensure they cannot on release benefit from their previous illegal activities.”
