Dramatic bodycam footage shows the moment a drug dealer was caught with an estimated £1,000 worth of cocaine in Cannock.
Ionut Alexandru, 22, of Coventry, was sentenced to two years in prison at Stafford Crown Court on October 30 after he admitted possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A, cocaine, theft, driving without a licence and driving without third party insurance.
He was stopped while sitting in a car on Noble Road in August this year. When major and organised crime team officers told him that he was going to be searched, he admitted that he had cocaine on him.
Staffordshire Police says a number of snap seal bags containing deals of cocaine were found inside the car, as well as a mobile phone and £160. The phone had messages on it advertising the sale of the drugs locally. The total estimated street value of the cocaine was believed to be between £840 and £1,050.
The force says officers found 33 bank cards in various different names and 21 smart phones when they searched his home in Coventry.
Alexandru was brought in for questioning and was charged with the offences, before pleading guilty in court and being sentenced.
