A DRUG dealer caught with almost £200,000-worth of cocaine and two stun guns has been jailed.
Nigel Robert Thompson, 47, was arrested after Enfield officers raided his home in Birbeck Road in May this year.
They discovered five bags of cocaine with a street value of £189,000 stashed in the bedroom and under the stairs in the house, along with the two weapons.
Thompson, who was not home at the time, later handed himself in to police and was charged with possession with intent to supply class A drugs and possession of offensive weapons.
He was hauled before the courts and admitted the charges, and on Friday, December 10 was jailed for three-and-a-half months.
PC Alan Rooke, who led the investigation, said it was “abundantly clear” Thompson was involved in drug dealing in Enfield.
He said: “If Thompson was not arrested and he continued with his criminal enterprise, this would have harmed the most vulnerable members of the community.
“His sentence should warn others that drug dealing will not be tolerated in Enfield.”
