From rapists, paedophiles thugs and thieves, lots of people were convicted of crimes last month.

So here are the criminals jailed in the county in June.

The 33-year-old was described by a judge as being "in the upper echelon of a significant role" supplying drugs on a large scale, mainly in parts of east Kent.

A search of the property near Crowhurst Lane, West Kingsdown, led to the seizure of 23 grams of cocaine, quantities of cutting agents and more than £7,500 in cash -evidence also indicated Taylor had been organising the purchase of £185,000 of cocaine from a contact in northern England.

The court heard Taylor had previous convictions related to the supply of Class A drugs and he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years and 10 months’ imprisonment.

The 22-year-old medical student who rigged cashpoints with hi-tech devices to seize bank cards and capture the owners' pin numbers on iPhone cameras was jailed.

Attaul Qayyum, from London, helped transform ATMs in Ramsgate and Broadstairs into potential money spinning traps as part of a “sophisticated” ruse.

Stephen Saville

The paedophile who sexually abused three teenage girls was locked up for 25 years.

Wayne Sherlock

The failed Dover businessman was jailed for four years for being one of the main conspirators in an international human trafficking gang.

The 32-year-old, of Atkinson Road, Folkestone, later admitted conspiring to supply cannabis as well as possession of and transfer of criminal property.

The evidence against Nicholl stemmed partly from a police stop in May 2020, when officers in Deal became suspicious of a blue Renault Megane.

Lai Uong

The John Lewis stockroom worker was jailed after stealing more than £45,000 worth of tech including laptops, phones and Apple AirPods.
