A known drug dealer was found with 97 wraps of cocaine hidden up his bottom, a court has heard.
Kevin Connell, 41, of Coventry Avenue, Netherton, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, February 8, after police spotted him involved in a drug deal. Iain Criddle, prosecuting, told the court that at around 9.30pm on January 9, 2023, officers saw Connell leaving flats on Bianca Street in Bootle on a bike.
Police witnessed the defendant meeting up with two people and making an exchange, before going back into the flats. He was stopped, searched and found with £52.70 in cash and a phone that was ringing.
