A drug dealer has been jailed after police stopped his vehicle in St Neots and smashed the car window to find £350 worth of class A drugs inside.
Officers from the Huntingdon Neighbourhood Policing Team arrested Blaine Gibbons, 25, after they had stopped him driving a white Mercedes C200 in Great North Road, St Neots, on March 27.
In the passenger seat was Kyra Brown, 24, who the car was registered and insured to, with officers stopping it after it was flagged up as being involved in the supply of drugs.
Gibbons refused to open to driver's door and was seen tampering with a burner phone on his lap while another phone was found along with cash on his lap and in a sock.
A search of the car uncovered 28 wraps of class A drugs worth about £350 and a list of drug users in St Neots and Huntingdonshire.
