A drug dealer has been jailed for more than two years after his DNA was found on a stash of drugs.
Police were on patrol in Cambridge on 18 December 2023 when they spotted the driver of a red Mazda acting suspiciously in Campkin Road.

Officers followed the vehicle and checks revealed it was insured to two different people at two different addresses.
Police requested the driver to stop but he ignored them before reaching a dead end on Somerset Close.
The driver, 31-year-old Baralbo Bregu, was detained and inside his car officers found bags of cocaine in the glove box as well as a mobile phone.
Bregu claimed he had borrowed the car from a friend and wasn’t aware of the drugs but forensic tests were able to link him to it.

Bregu, of New Addington, Croydon, Surrey, was sentenced to two years and seven months in prison at Cambridge Crown Court today (Wednesday, 8 January) having previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs and possession of criminal property.
PC Jodie Skells said: “We will continue to target people like Bregu who come into our county to deal drugs. Drugs bring misery and associated violence to communities and will not be tolerated.”
