A drug dealer was hiding wraps of cocaine behind a dashboard panel in his car, police said. Sanyar Bakhshudeh, 21, was driving a black Ford Fiesta when he was seen by members of Nottinghamshire Police’s knife crime team in the Radford area of Nottingham on October 1 last year.
Acting on their suspicions, officers followed the car before stopping it in Highurst Street. Police said that when the car was searched, officers found 22 deal bags of cocaine concealed behind a panel on the central console of the vehicle.
Bakhshudeh, formerly of Kettleband Close, Bingham, was arrested and went on to plead guilty to possession with intent to supply a Class A drug and being concerned in the supply of cannabis between October 6 and October 10, in 2020.
