Watch: Drug dealer tries to flee house raid via garden
Video showed the moment a drug dealer ran into the arms of waiting officers as he tried to flee a house raid.
Drone footage showed the 20-year-old running into the garden of a house in Basildon as Essex Police smashed down the front door in Basildon on 30 June.
He was arrested by officers at the back gate and was found to be in possession of more than £1,400 in cash and wraps of Class A drugs.
He later admitted possession with intent to supply cocaine and heroin, as well as possessing criminal property, and was given a two-year suspended prison sentence with unpaid work.
