Wanted man gets caught with drugs stash in Peterborough

Neighbourhood policing officers were on patrol in the Russell Street area of Millfield, Peterborough, on the evening of 20 June in response to concerns from the local community about drug dealing in the area.

They pulled over a grey Vauxhall Insignia after it flagged as having no insurance – a search of the Police National Computer (PNC) showed the driver – 22-year-old Ervis Agaj – was wanted by another police force for failing to attend a court hearing, resulting in his arrest.

A search of the car revealed 25 ‘deal’ bags of cannabis and eight of cocaine, along with £300 in cash. A further £510 in cash was found in Agaj’s trouser pockets.

He's been jailed for three years and nine months.
