Teenage drug dealer caught out by police due to his bad parking

A blundering drug dealer was caught in his BMW after police were alerted by his wonky parking.

Apprentice plumber Callum Regan, 19, parked his car at an awkward angle next to two other vehicles.

A court heard police became suspicious – and a sniffer dog found over £1,100 of cocaine inside.

Prosecutor Ashanti-Jade Walton said the BMW 1-series was parked on the side of the road in Swansea.

But it ‘sped off’ when the police officer approached.

Swansea Crown court heard the officer chased Regan and pulled him over.

He gave a negative alcohol test but the officer saw ‘a large amount of money’ in his pocket – totalling £825.

The court heard Regan failed a drug test following the chase on September 29 last year.

He was found with wraps containing almost 43 grams of cocaine.

Text messages were discovered mentioning ‘the purity and price structure’ of drugs.

Regan, of Portmead, Swansea, pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply and driving with a level of a controlled substance over the specified limit.

Judge Keith Thomas jailed Regan for two years and eight months.
