A man found with cocaine in a coffee tin in his Mercedes has been ordered to pay back more than £50,000 of the money he made through drug-dealing.
Martin Bradshaw, from Wigan, was jailed in February 2022 after pleading guilty to dangerous driving, driving without insurance, possession with intent to supply a class A controlled drug and facilitating the acquisition/possession of criminal property. A court heard how the 33-year-old was first spotted by police 'driving erratically' in his Mercedes Benz on February 5, 2020.
Bradshaw sped off from the scene but the car was found shortly after on Higher Lane in Aspull. Due to intelligence linking the vehicle to the supply of drugs, officers later forced entry into the vehicle and seized bank cards and a coffee tin containing cocaine.
