A drug dealer was caught with a cocktail of narcotics worth up to £88,000 after trying to hide from police in a wheelie bin.
Sabbi Miah was the passenger in a speeding car which drew the attention of officers in Whitley Bay. After a chase, the driver lost control and he and Miah made a run for it. The driver got away but Miah was caught climbing into a bin and when the car was searched, cocaine, MDMA and ketamine were seized and he also had £2,800 in cash.
Police found documents linking him to an apartment in Newcastle city centre, where a much bigger stash of cocaine, heroin, MDMA and cannabis was found. Now the 23-year-old, who turned to drug dealing to pay off gambling debts, has been jailed at Newcastle Crown Court.
