A 23-YEAR-OLD Bussage cannabis dealer was caught after he ordered a package of cocaine to be sent to him from Holland.
Chance Gough, of The Dorter, Bussage, was a cocaine addict and he used cash from the proceeds of his cannabis dealing to pay for the high purity cocaine delivery, Gloucester crown court was told yesterday.
But the 10gram package of cocaine aroused the suspicions of the UK Border Agency when it arrived in the UK from the Netherlands and officers decided to raise Gough's address.
Prosecutor Julian Kesner said they went to Gough's home on December 9 last year and in his bedroom found 422grams of cannabis together with clear evidence that he was dealing in the drug.
"A dealer's list was found with 16 names on it," Mr Kesner said. "If the figures on the list are in Sterling then he had done £4,025 worth of business.
"The cannabis seized was worth £4,000. Officers could not get into his mobile phone to check it because he refused to give the PIN.
"The cocaine was 77 percent purity and he said he had paid £250 for it. A police expert thinks that is on the low side but would not challenge it."
