A convicted drug trafficker has been ordered to pay £300,060.
Kenneth Robinson, 48, of Farley Way, Fairlight, was sentenced to 12 years in jail at Lewes Crown Court in April last year for 17 counts of possessing and supplying Class A drugs, possession of firearms and ammunition and production of Class C drugs.

He was jointly convicted with his brother John, aged 47, of St Matthews Gardens, Hastings.

They were charged after amphetamines, heroin and cocaine with a street value of £117,668 were found at a home in Hughenden Road, Hastings.

Also at the address was a cannabis farm of more than 300 plants yielding an estimated street value of more than £281,000.

A confiscation hearing held on Friday determined that Keith Robinson should pay the money obtained from selling drugs, under the Drugs Trafficking Act.

His brother was ordered to pay £3,276.

Ellen Gander-Miller, of Sussex Police's Financial Investigation Unit, said: "The Sussex Police Economic Crime Unit will pursue all convicted criminals where they have made money from their crime. The unit will identify how much money has been made through criminality and seek to have that money confiscated."
