A drug dealer is set to miss the birth of his first child after police caught him trying to transport a block of crack cocaine from Liverpool to Scotland.
Andrew Graham hid the Class A drugs in the wheel arch of his car as he tried to ferry it out of Merseyside but officers found it after conducting a search of his car. They also found he and another man in the car, Justin Richmond, were dealing cannabis.
Nick Cockrell, prosecuting, said police stopped the car as it was heading out of the city on November 7, 2020, and found both him and Richmond, as well as two other men, in possession of cannabis. He said police then conducted a search of the car, which Graham was driving, and found 107g of crack cocaine. Mr Cockrell said: “Police recovered, from what appears to be a hidden compartment behind the vehicle’s left wheel arch, a substance which upon analysis was found to be crack cocaine.”
