Kenneth Addison, 39, from Tennyson Avenue, Grangetown, has been locked up for over five years after cops found his fingerprints on a massive stash of cocaine and piles of cash.
Massive Cocaine and Cash Haul Found at Windsor Court
Police swooped on a property in Windsor Court after receiving information about a vehicle carrying a firearm. Addison was spotted chatting with David Pears, 27, who was inside the car. Both men were arrested, and a gun was seized. The next day, a search uncovered 2.5kg of cocaine worth £48,060. Officers found 344g in the kitchen and two large blocks hidden upstairs. A safe in the bedroom held around £40,000 in cash, with more money scattered around the room. They also found several mobile phones and black scales—classic drug-dealing gear.
Fingerprints Seal the Deal for Five Years Behind Bars
Forensics linked Addison directly to the drugs and cash, with his prints found seven times on £20 notes and twice on bags of cocaine. He was arrested in January 2026 and refused to answer questions. At Teesside link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="2901">Crown Court on 10 April, Addison pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs. He was sentenced to five years and four months. Pears wasn’t spared either, landing a five-year prison term on 8 October.
“Addison’s fingerprints were found on the drugs and money, proving his direct involvement in the supply,” said a police spokesperson.
This bust hits hard against Grangetown’s drug trade, showing police are cracking down on dangerous dealers.
