The drugs were seized along with White’s phone on which officers found texts from him offering to supply drugs.

White pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs but claimed he only supplied to his friends. However Judge Haworth ruled he was guilty of street dealing.

He was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment at Cambridge Crown Court on Tuesday (September 18).

The cash was confiscated and the judge ordered the destruction of his drugs and mobile phone.

PC Tom Gallagher, who stopped White, said:”This is a great result for police to prevent a dealer from supplying cocaine on the streets of Cambridge.

“We are pleased with the sentencing. It sends a strong message that drug dealing will not be tolerated in the city of Cambridge.”
