Northumberland cocaine dealer who had £86,000 go into his bank caught due to fidgety woman in car

A cocaine dealer who received more than £86,000 into his bank account and was found with wads of cash and a Rolex watch at his home was caught thanks to a fidgety woman in a car raising suspicion.

Liam Friar was caught when police stopped a car and the demeanour of the woman in the driving seat led officers to think she was possibly on drugs, prompting a search. Passenger Friar was found to have £1,300 cash and a small bag containing white powder residue.

When he was searched in custody, police found nine bags of cocaine in his shoe, weighing 3.9g. At his home, £3,450 of cash was recovered from a bedside table and the expensive watch.
