A 36-year-old man has been jailed for over three years for supplying class A drugs in Crawley.

Robin Raison was sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on 29 April.

Raison was arrested on 4 June 2024 on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a class A drug after a quantity of cocaine and £5000 in cash were found on him at a property he had rented for one night in Crawley. The owner of the property was not involved with the incident, and Raison was bailed whilst enquiries were ongoing.

Following further investigation, on 14 July 2025 Raison was charged with possession with intent to supply a class A drug.

He was summonsed to appear at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on 20 August 2025 and was granted court bail.

Raison was later arrested and charged with an additional count of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.

He appeared at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on 3 March this year where he pleaded guilty to both charges and was remanded into custody.

Raison appeared at Lewes Crown Court on 29 April 2026 for sentencing.

Robin Raison, 36 of Padstow Walk, Crawley, was jailed for three years and two months and was ordered to forfeit £3,000 cash as well as drug paraphernalia and a mobile phone.

Detective Inspector Gary Jacobs said: “I am pleased to see the sentence reflect the severity of Raison’s crimes.

“The supply of illicit drugs has a significant negative impact on our communities.

“We will remain relentless in our pursuit to catch offenders, bring them to justice and protect the public from the harm of illegal drugs and the supply of those substances.”
