Drug dealer jailed after officers find crack cocaine and £26k cash in home

A drug dealer has been jailed after officers from our major and organised crime proactive teams found approximately £26,000 in cash and crack cocaine at his home.

Jayden Gordon, 21, of Walsall, was sentenced to three-years-and-four-months in prison at Stafford Crown Court on Thursday 20 February after he pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply a drug of class A (crack cocaine) and possession of criminal property.

Gordon was arrested on 17 December last year after he was found with £490 in cash and suspected drugs.

Officers then searched his home and found approximately £27,000 in cash and multiple wraps and crack cocaine.

He was then charged with the offences on 18 December and remanded into custody.
