More than £500 in cash, two mobile phones and 11 bags of white powder were found on one man during a police search. Officers were on patrol on Queen’s Bower Road, Arnold, at around 7.10pm on October 29, 2021 when Martin Spencer was spotted in a car behaving suspiciously.
As the 31 year old got out of the vehicle nearby on Mildenhall Crescent, officers stopped him and carried out a search, which resulted in 11 bags of white powder, over £500 in cash and two mobile phones being found.
Spencer, of Morrell Bank, Bestwood, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine, possession of criminal property and possession with intent to supply cocaine on 8 December 2022. On Thursday, May 25, he was jailed for two years and eight months at Nottingham Crown Court.

Police Constable Zoe East, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This is another good example of why we carry out stop and searches when we spot suspicious behaviour while on patrol. Spencer was caught red-handed with drugs and his ill-gotten cash in his pockets.
“It is always good news when we can put drug dealers behind bars and take drugs off the streets. Criminals like Spencer bring misery and suffering to our communities and vulnerable people. I’d like to reassure them we will not let up our efforts as a force to bring these sort of individuals to justice for their crimes.
"Everyone has a part to play in fighting drug crime and I would encourage anyone with suspicions of drug dealing to call us on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.”
