A drug dealer told police "you have won and I have lost" after they caught him hiding crack cocaine under his privates. Joseph Mannion used his friend Andrew Sissons, "a willing companion", to store more illegal substances at his home, Derby Crown Court was told.
On the day they were both arrested, the pair were stopped in a car, searched and wraps of both cocaine and heroin were found. Further searches at their addresses in Ilkeston uncovered half a kilogram of cannabis and £6,000 of cocaine, Derbyshire Live reports.
Jailing the two men for a combined total of seven years, Recorder Jason Macadam said: "This was a well-run, organised and busy operation. Mr Mannion was running the deals ably assisted by Mr Sissons who was a driver and who stored the drugs at his address.
