A drug dealer is back behind bars after he was spotted driving two vehicles he hadn't declared to the police.
Stephen Brown was jailed for more than six years in 2018 for his part in a gang that was conspiring to supply Northumberland and Newcastle with class A drugs. The 39-year-old was released in October last year and made subject of a Serious Crime Prevention Order, which prohibited him from a number of things, including possessing or having control of a vehicle without notifying the police.
However, on August 3 this year, Brown was spotted behind the wheels of a BMW and a Land Rover in Ashington, a court was told. He was also driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and without insurance.
