Designer-loving cocaine dealer caught with guns and business cards which promised 'delivery anywhere 24/7'

A drug dealer has been jailed after police raided the city centre hub of his cocaine supply business and found two automatic handguns. Mike Kabeya, 24, ran a drugs supply operation from a plush apartment at South Tower in Manchester city centre.

But his illegal trade came to an end when police raided the flat on Owen Street on March 26. Inside the property, cops found two Retay automatic handguns, ammunition, high-purity cocaine, scales, snap bags, mobile phones and business cards which read 'delivery anywhere 24/7'. Officers also found £3,160 as well as €595 and evidence of cryptocurrency.

The cash was found in a bag in a desk in the living room alongside Kabeya's driving licence, national insurance card and a lock knife, prosecutor Juliet Berry told Manchester Crown Court on Thursday. More cash was found in the kitchen as well as snap bags, scales and a cash counting machine.
