Watch: Drug dealer caught hiding in bushes

A drug dealer who tried to evade police by hiding in bushes has been jailed for four-and-a-half years.

Mohammed Mayar fled from officers after they spotted him with a known drug user on Oxford Road, Millfield, Peterborough, at about 23:15 BST on 31 July last year.

During the pursuit, the 23-year-old discarded a bag containing 243 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin, with an estimated street value of £2,430.

Mayar, of no fixed address, denied possessing the drugs with intent to supply, but was found guilty following a trial at Cambridge Crown Court and was sentenced last week.
