A Norwich drug dealer found with cocaine and more than a thousand pounds in cash has been jailed.
Safa Lawan, 22, had almost £1,500, 23 wraps of cocaine and two mobile phones with messages regarding the sale of cocaine.
The drugs haul was discovered after he was pulled over by traffic police on Gables Close in Peterborough two days before Christmas in December 2023 on suspicion of having no insurance.
Lawan, of Barnard Road, Norwich, was jailed for two years and two months after admitting possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession of criminal property, and being concerned in the supply of cocaine.

A judge at Cambridge Crown Court ordered for the seized cash to be divided equally between community and children charities.
PC Malachi Creedon, who investigated, said: “This was great work from our traffic officers, who acted on their suspicions to search Lawan and uncover the drugs.
“It is great to see something positive being done following this result, with the cash seized being distributed to charities to help the community.”
