A teenage drug dealer's car stank of cannabis, leading police to a stash of cocaine hidden in a Kinder egg. Corey Sutton, 19, was riding shotgun when the feds pulled over the whip in Tonyrefail on April 28. When the old bill approached, they caught a whiff and Sutton asked if they wanted to see his stash.
The crew found a bag of weed and a grinder. But it was the Kinder egg that had the real goods: 10 ziplock bags of coke, each weighing 0.4g with a street value between £200 and £300. Sutton’s phone messages revealed he was on road, selling both coke and weed to customers.
At Cardiff Crown Court, Sutton pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs and being concerned in the supply of class A and B drugs. His barrister said Sutton had turned to dealing after losing his job. The judge, Greg Bull KC, hit him with 28 months' detention in a young offenders’ institute, saying drug supply offences were 'too serious' for anything less.
