Two cocaine dealers caught red-handed by police with half a kilo of cocaine, worth £35,000, when pulled over in their silver Mercedes have each been jailed for five years.
Driver Leon Reece, 26, of Vancouver Road, Enfield, North London (pic.top) and passenger Peter Fricker, 30, of Whitbread Close, Tottenham (pic.bottom) were stopped on October 28, last year in Endymion Road, Finsbury Park.
Police seized a blue carrier bag from the front passenger footwell, which contained 500 gms. of cocaine of 73% purity.
Both men were convicted at Wood Green Crown Court of possessing the cocaine, with intent to supply.
Detective Constable Kerry Burgess of Haringey Crime Squad said: “This was a vehicle stop that resulted in 500 gms of cocaine being taken off the streets and out of circulation.
Peter Fricker and Leon Reece are now facing the harsh consequences of their actions.
“This should be heeded by others as a stern warning that drug possession and supply will not be tolerated.”
