Man remanded after admitting drug offences and weapon possession in Swindon
Liberte Nambu to be sentenced after police interception leads to drug and weapon seizure
Liberte Nambu, a 31-year-old from Cardiff, has been remanded in custody after pleading guilty to multiple drug offences and possession of a knife in a public place.
Nambu appeared at Swindon Magistrates Court this morning, where he admitted to possession with intent to supply crack cocaine, cocaine, and heroin.
The charges follow an incident on March 8th, when officers pulled over Nambu's vehicle on Alfred Street due to the manner of his driving and discovered he was wanted on recall to prison.
Further searches led to the discovery of cash, four mobile phones, suspected class A drugs, and a knife.
Upon being taken into custody, Nambu was found to be carrying multiple wraps of class A drugs, which tested positive for cocaine, crack cocaine, and heroin.
Inspector Rich Marshall highlighted the collaborative effort involved in the arrest, stating: “This arrest highlights some excellent teamwork by firearms officers, response colleagues, our dog unit and Volume Crime Team and further demonstrates our commitment to tackling serious crime within our communities.
"Following this vehicle stop, officers seized a substantial amount of class A drugs, a weapon, cash, and multiple mobile phones which evidenced extensive drug dealing. I am pleased we have intercepted this drugs line and prevented it from reaching vulnerable people in Swindon," Inspector Marshall said.
Nambu is due to be sentenced on April 10th at Swindon Crown Court.
