A dangerous driving drug dealer who resorted to selling cocaine in order to pay off his own drug debt has been put behind bars.
Richard Burnham was found in possession of bags of cocaine and wads of cash when police carried out two raids on addresses in 2019. The 23-year-old then moved out of the area, but was back in trouble with police last year after he was seen driving an Audi with a person on the bonnet.
Then, in February this year, he was involved in a high-speed car chase that saw him driving dangerously and undercutting other motorists before he ditched the car and was found hiding in woodland. When arrested, bags of cocaine were found in the area he was hiding and he was in possession of a stolen driving licence.
