Heroin dealer busted, because he couldn’t hold it in any longer

LONDON: It was likely not going to end any other way when 19-year-old Toby Brown was taken by officers for an x-ray to the hospital as a precautionary measure and discovered he was hiding as much as 40-grams of suspected drugs.

The drugs were not discovered with technology, rather because Brown soiled himself as he couldn’t hold it in any longer, a statement by the Metropolitan Police revealed on Friday.

Toby Brown a resident of Hardinge Crescent, SE18 pleaded guilty of possession with intent to supply a Class A Drug - namely heroin - at Bexley Magistrates Court on Thursday, 25 August.

It revealed, Brown was sought by officers in connection with another matter, but when officers found him they suspected he was concealing drugs on his person.

Once he had arrived at custody, Brown was referred to hospital as a precaution. It was at hospital, whilst waiting for an x-ray, that Brown soiled himself revealing around 20-40 grams of suspected drugs.

The amount of contraband recovered is estimated to have a street value between £5,000 - £7,500.
