A man who was caught with class A drugs stashed inside a Kinder Egg has been jailed.

Craig Stark, 35, was spotted engaging in a drug deal by officers on patrol in Huntingdon on August 3, 2018.

When the officers approached the group, Stark and two other men ran away, but they managed to detain Stark after a struggle.

The drug dealer was found with cocaine and heroin hidden in a Kinder Egg, and more drugs in his room at a B&B hostel, worth more than £600 altogether.

The dealer pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs and was jailed for 26 months at Peterborough Crown Court today (February 25).

Sergeant Michael Basford said: “Drugs devastate lives and cause misery for our communities.

"Often drug dealing and violence go hand-in-hand, making it vital that we catch the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”
