Teen Busted with 137 Wraps of Crack and a Knife in St Ann’s
Police officers from Operation Reacher and Response were on the lookout to arrest 19-year-old Keanu Mckoy for an unrelated offence when they spotted him in Heaton Close, St Ann’s.
The suspect was stopped at the roadside and quickly admitted to carrying drugs and a large knife.
Massive Crack Cocaine Haul Seized
Officers recovered an astonishing 137 individual wraps of crack cocaine from Mckoy.
Just days earlier, on Monday 3 April, Mckoy had already been sentenced to three years in custody for a separate drug-related crime.
Detective Hits Out at Drug Dealers
“As Mckoy found out to his cost, Nottinghamshire Police simply won’t tolerate drugs being dealt on our streets,” said Detective Constable Laura Price.
“Cracking down on those trying to flood our communities with drugs is one of our top priorities as a force because we know how much damage this activity can cause.”
She added: “Thanks to the officers involved in this arrest, we seized 137 wraps of crack cocaine and took a dangerous knife off the streets.”
“Carrying a weapon like this in public is against the law and absolutely unacceptable,” DC Price warned.
