Man inhaling balloons at wheel found with 48,000 nitrous oxide cannisters

A man has been jailed after he was spotted inhaling a blue balloon while driving by police officers.

When Keaton Ormerod-Beck, 25, was pulled over on the A5117 by the unmarked police car, officers spotted a large quantity of spent nitrous oxide canisters littered throughout his vehicle. They decided to search the vehicle, and discovered a quantity of cannabis resin.

The resin was estimated to have a street value of up to £6,000, and Ormerod-Beck was arrested at the scene. Later in the day officers visited an address and a storage unit linked to Ormerod-Beck.
