A man who caught the attention of detectives when he was "behaving suspiciously" in his car has been handed a four-year prison sentence for drug dealing.

In August this year, James Rigby, 20, was spotted by detectives behaving suspiciously as he drove around the Warwick area in his Vauxhall Corsa.

On stopping and searching, detectives discovered cocaine, MDMA, Ecstasy and cannabis – together with £1,310 in cash.

He was promptly arrested and when officers searched two homes linked to him, they discovered more drugs and £19,125 in cash.

Rigby, of Kenilworth, pleaded guilty to possessing class A and B drugs with intent to supply and on Thursday, 31 October, at Warwick Crown Court he was sentenced to four years in prison as well as having to surrender all of the cash.

DC Christopher Pitt said: "We're pleased that another individual who was willing to risk the lives of people around him because he thought he could make some quick cash has been jailed.

"Rigby was playing his part in funding and facilitating a web of criminality that causes misery, poverty and suffering here in his own community.

"He now has four years in prison to reflect on his actions – and to work out how he can make a living in a way that doesn't destroy communities."
