Jail For Dealer Who Hid Heroin In Sweets

A man caught with two Kinder eggs full of class A drugs in Ely has been jailed.

Phillip Keary of no fixed abode was unaware he was being watched by police when he drove into a hotel car park back in September.

Officers suspected the 53-year-old to be a county lines drug dealer and decided to approach him in the car park in Witchford Road, Ely.

They found two Kinder eggs containing 15 packages of heroin and crack cocaine. A tablet which rang throughout the search was also recovered along with some cash.

At Cambridge Crown Court he pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs and was jailed for three years. He was also disqualified from driving for 12 months.
