A 53-year-old man has been sentenced to three years behind bars after being caught dealing cocaine out of his car in Rugby.
Detectives observed Arian Varfaj, who has no fixed abode, engaging in a suspected drug deal on Oxford Street last December.
After witnessing the deal, they swiftly approached and detained him.
Upon searching Varfaj and his vehicle, they discovered cocaine, cash, and a phone used for dealing.
He was charged with being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and held in custody.
Varfaj pleaded guilty and at Warwick Crown Court on Friday 6th March, he was sentenced to 39 months in prison.
