A cocaine dealer from Cambridge who hid a stash of cocaine in a pot of chewing gum has been sent to prison.
Isuf Qaushi was pulled over by police, who suspected he had no insurance, as he drove a silver Ford Focus on July 10 in Ditton Fields.
Officers searched his vehicle and found eight bags of cocaine stashed in a chewing gum pot.
He had house keys on him, but refused to give a home address.
A search of his mobile phone revealed that he regularly ordered taxis to a house in Kaldor Court.
There, inside the 23-year-old’s bedroom, officers found a sock with a further 34 bags of cocaine inside as well as cash and a mobile phone with messages linking him to drug dealing
At Cambridge Crown Court on Tuesday (October3), Qaushi was sentenced to a year and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession of criminal property, driving otherwise in accordance with a licence and no insurance.
PC James Good, who investigated, said: “We will continue to target people who live in and visit Cambridge to deal drugs.
“Drugs bring misery and violence to our communities and we urge members of the public to continue reporting information to us.”
