A driver was caught with two dozen yellow bricks of cocaine in the boot of his car after being pulled over for a random stop and search.

William Dunford, 24, made no attempt to conceal the bricks weighing 26kg and worth £800,000 as he drove through east London.

Dunford was caught red handed when officers from Scotland Yard’s Violent Crime Taskforce on patrol in two unmarked cars stopped him.

Dunford of Islington was jailed for 12 years after admitting possession of a class-A drug with intent to supply at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Thursday

Inspector Peter Moxham said: “This sentencing is the result of a routine stop and search carried out by officers on patrol.

“A result like this demonstrates how effective the tactic can be when preventing criminals involved in drug dealing and other criminality, including carrying offensive weapons.

“I would like this case to act as a warning to anyone who thinks they can get away with drug dealing.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
