Wolverhampton drug dealer forced to sell BMW and pay back cash
A repeat drug dealer has been ordered to cough-up £5,500 worth of assets by the courts.
Vin Campbell, of Springfield Road, Parkfields, has been caught acting as a street dealer on three separate occasions.
He was last convicted in August when he was given a near six-year jail sentence.
A Proceeds of Crime Hearing at Wolverhampton Crown Court this week heard the total 'benefits' from his criminal activity amounted to around £16,000.
Phillip Beardwell, representing the crown, said Campbell's assets had been judged to total £5,500.
That figure includes £1,500 in cash which was seized from Campbell after he was arrested for his most recent crime.
The 52-year-old agreed to give up the cash as part of his repayment.
The balance of £4,000 will be recovered through the sale of his BMW car.
Recorder Peter Ievins, said: "I am satisfied this is a reasonable compromise bearing in mind your assets.
"I order a £5,500 compensation order. Of that you have signed away £1,500 cash found at the time of your arrest, so there is £4,000 owing.
"That some must be paid within three months, failing which you will serve 10 weeks in custody consecutive to your prison sentence."
Campbell, a father-of-two, was on licence from a previous six-year term when police found him dealing cocaine and heroin.
