Defendant spared custodial sentence after defence representations from Zarreen Alam-Cheetham

June 9, 2025

A man facing 2 counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs has been spared a custodial sentence following defence representations from Zarreen Alam-Cheetham from Exchange Chambers.

After the defendant pleaded guilty on the day of the trial, Zarreen, instructed by Qamar Solicitors, put forward a basis of plea which was acceptable to the Crown. The defendant received a standalone community order and was therefore released from prison on the same day as sentence.

Zarreen Alam-Cheetham has a busy criminal practice across the North and North Eastern Circuits. She acts for both the prosecution and defence.
