A drug dealer caught selling cocaine from his car has been jailed.
Hussein Camaglu was spotting acting suspiciously inside a BMW at a car park off Pembury Road, Tunbridge Wells, last August.
Officers followed the 33-year-old to nearby Knights Park where he was arrested.
His BMW was searched where 28 deal bags and five lottery tickets worth of cocaine were found under the gearstick.
Camaglu’s phone and sat nav were also seized and examined. Both items had several addresses stored, indicating that he had been actively dealing to users in and around the town.
The Vicarage Park, Woolwich, resident admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply. He was jailed last Friday for two years and four months.
District Commander for Tunbridge Wells, Chief Inspector Pete Steenhuis said: "Camaglu is yet another drug dealer who mistakenly assumed he could operate in Tunbridge Wells with impunity. I hope this sentence serves as yet another warning to those intent on dealing drugs within our communities – you will be caught and brought to justice.
"I would like to thank again the fantastic support we receive from the local community in helping us detect and deter offenders targeting our town. By continuing to work together we not only ensure Tunbridge Wells remains a safe place to live but we are really getting the message through to criminals that coming to this town is simply not worth it."
