Good work by alert police officers led to a drug dealer being jailed for 42 months.
The officers became suspicious after seeing a car being driven fast down a dead-end street in Radford Semele.
They followed the car and saw it park up next to a camper van which had a man sitting in the front.
Suspicions further roused, they stopped the car and seized a padded bag containing cannabis and class A drugs.
Luke De-Souza, 32, was arrested and a later search of his house in Charles Gardner Road, Leamington led to the seizure of more drugs.
He was jailed at Warwick Crown Court last week after previously being convicted of possession of cannabis with intent to supply, possession of cocaine with intent to supply and possession of MDMA with intent to supply.
Investigating officer, Detextive Constable Mottram, said: “This excellent work by alert officers led to a drug dealer and drugs being taken off the streets. This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to tackle a trade that has such a detrimental impact on law-abiding people.
“I hope this outcome serves as a warning to drug dealers that we are looking for you and we will not tolerate this type of activity.”
