A drug dealer caught red handed by police has been jailed.
Huntingdon officers were on patrol in St Neots on 9 June when they spotted Jayden Timbrell carrying out a suspected drug deal in the corner of a car park.
The officers pulled in front of Timbrell’s vehicle and after searching him and the car found a knife, £1,235 in cash, two mobile phones and a rucksack containing cannabis.
They then searched the 24-year-old’s home in De Havilland Avenue, Shortstown, Bedford, and found cocaine worth £960.
At Huntingdon Crown Court on Tuesday (13 December), Timbrell was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply class A and cannabis, possession of a bladed article, driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.
He was also disqualified from driving for two years.
PC James Sims, from the Huntingdon neighbourhood team, said: “Drugs have no place in our community, they fuel crime and exploitation.
“We will continue to pursue and bring to justice those who cause misery in our communities.”
