DRUG DEALER JAILED

A drug dealer has been jailed after officers found cocaine in a car in Tamworth.

An iPhone and £166 in cash were seized from him.

When officers searched the car, they found £25 in cash in the centre console, three bags of cocaine under the front passenger seat and two further bags attached to the driver’s side door frame.

Gjuzi was arrested and the vehicle was seized.
