MAN JAILED FOR DRUGS OFFENCES

A man has been jailed after he tried to run off from officers who spotted him doing a cocaine deal in Tamworth.

Enis Kamberi, 19, of no fixed address, was seen in the passenger seat of a car that stopped in the Tamworth area. A woman got in the car for a short time and then left, prompting officers to follow the car into Warwickshire.

When the car came to a stop, Kamberi got out and tried to run off, but didn’t get far.

Officers quickly found a hidden compartment in the car. It had 18 deals of cocaine inside that had been stuffed into a sock, along with £380 in cash.

Kamberi was arrested and charged with the offences. He later pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of class A – cocaine and possession of criminal property.

He was jailed for one-year-and-eight-months at Stafford Crown Court on Friday (5 June).

A second man, who was also charged in relation to the investigation, failed to answer court bail and is wanted.
