Investigating officer Seb Day said: “Thanks to the vigilant police officers on the ground a potential drug deal was stopped.
“This sentence reflects the severity of this offence and shows our robust action to tackle this behaviour.
“Our message to those who carry a knife or thinking of carrying a knife is that it does not protect you and could actually make you more vulnerable and in danger of serious harm.”
