Teen who accepted 'free' expensive clothes made to deal drugs to repay cost

A materialistic student who accepted high priced clothing given as a 'gift' sent from a 'friend of a friend' was later told that if he could not pay back the price of the garments in cash he would have to deal drugs to pay it back. At the time Ibrahim Yousef, 19, asked no questions about the seemingly generous garments but later received the unpleasant surprise that he was actually to pay for them all.

The teenager confessed to Hull Crown Court that he had been in possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply on June, 30, Hull Live reports. Prosecutor, Neil Coxon said that police had spotted Yousef exiting the home of an infamous local drug user on Beverley Road and searched him after presuming that he had played a part in a drug deal.

The police found heroin and crack cocaine on his person along with £115 in cash and two mobile phones. He was arrested and his home was searched.
