Police Chase Fails as Dealer Flees
On 8th December last year, David Green, 41, was spotted driving a VW Caddy on Plumbe Street during a suspected drug deal. When officers tried to stop him, he broke free and fled the scene.
But a search of his van revealed 12 knotted bags of crack cocaine and four of heroin, along with two iPhones. Texts on one phone showed clear signs of drug dealing.
