A drug dealer stored more than £400 worth of crack cocaine up his bum which was discovered by police when he was searched. His mobile phone was seized and showed he had been dealing drugs.
Darren Deacon, 32, was stopped by police in Cardiff around 6.40pm on February 20, 2021, in a blue Renault Megane in which he was the passenger. As two officers approached the defendant had his hands between his legs, was holding a mobile phone, and there was a strong smell of cannabis coming from the car in Crown Way, Cathays.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard Deacon admitted to having cannabis and pointed to his seat. Police found a grip seal bag containing 0.45g of cannabis worth £5. A Nokia phone and an Apple iPhone were also seized and the defendant was taken to custody.
