“However a routine search of his car found a quantity of cannabis, a knuckleduster and two mobile phones.

“A search of his then address in Bognor revealed cocaine, MDMA, cannabis, amphetamine and LSD with an estimated street value of some £6,000, two sets of scales and plastic’ deal’ bags.

“Adam had little choice but to plead guilty, and this case shows that we continue to take every opportunity to take drugs off the streets and to bring to justice those who try to profit from the trade.”
