A former law student and paralegal was caught red-handed waiting for a customer to buy cocaine from him.
Plain clothes police officers arrested Sabbir Ahmed on Swansea's Wind Street after becoming suspicious of his behaviour and was found to be carrying two coke deals - a further 19 deals were found in the glovebox of his nearby car. Swansea Crown Court heard a subsequent search of the defendant's phone found extensive messaging on Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Telegram about the buying and selling of cocaine, including from the day of his arrest when a contact had ordered "1 to Wind Street".
Brian Simpson, prosecuting, said on the evening of February 4 this year plain clothes police officers on patrol in Swansea city centre saw Ahmed on Wind Street - he was on his phone and appeared to be waiting for someone to arrive, and "due to his demeanour" they stopped him. The court heard that when he was searched he was found to be carrying £200 in cash, two wraps of cocaine, and a set of car keys. Officers located the defendant's Ford Focus parked nearby, and in the glove box they found a further 19 wraps of the Class A drug.
