A drug dealer who hid more than £3,000 worth of heroin and crack cocaine in his car’s air vent broke down when stopped by police claiming he had been forced into “this world”. Adam Younas, 22, was arrested by road policing officers in Millfield, Peterborough, on 19 October after a proactive stop of his car which was believed to be linked to drug dealing.

The black Volkswagen Golf, which was suspected to be linked to county lines drugs supply and previously failed to stop for police, activated an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera in Peterborough at about 8pm.

Road policing officers found the car in Lincoln Road, Millfield, and blocked it to prevent it from making off.

The driver – Younas – and his passenger were detained for a search, but no drugs were found on them.

A search of the car uncovered a large clear bag containing 305 wraps of heroin and crack cocaine worth £3,050 within the driver’s side air vent and £325 in cash underneath the steering wheel.

Both men were arrested, when Younis broke down claiming he had been forced into “this world” but later provided “no comment” in interview.

Younas, of Exeter Street, Rochdale, Greater Manchester, appeared at Huntingdon Law Court today (Friday) where he was sentenced to 21 months in prison, suspended for two years, after previously admitting possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin, acquiring criminal property – namely £325 in cash, and being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.

A 23-year-old man who was arrested alongside Younas is due to answer police bail on 19 January.

Detective Constable Elisabetta D’Ancona, who investigated, said: “Drug supply is something we, as a force, are working hard to tackle, particularly in the Millfield area of Peterborough.

“County lines criminality often brings with it other types of offending such as violence and exploitation, preying on vulnerable people and children to draw them into the drug dealing network.”

California commerce chiefs visit to Marshall Cambridge will ‘deepen local ties’ Marshall hosted representatives from North Carolina’s Department of Commerce and economic development partnerships for a tour of its Cambridge headquarters this week “providing a glimpse of the capabilities, heritage and values it will soon be bringing to the state”. A Marshall spokesperson said: “As progress continues on the construction of the company’s new maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO) and engineering facility at Piedmont Triad International Airport, the visit served to deepen local ties while demonstrating the value Marshall’s presence promises to bring to North Carolina.” The tour covered a range of Marshall’s aerospace operations, including MRO work on the United States Marine Corps fleet of KC-130J airlifters, and heavy engineering projects such as the removal and replacement of aircraft centre wing boxes. “It was incredibly rewarding to showcase our capabilities on home turf to some of the individuals whose support and enthusiasm made it so easy to choose North Carolina as a home for our new U.S. facility,” said Marshall MRO Support Services Director Chris Dare. “Our Cambridge and Greensboro operations may be thousands expertise, apart, but they will share a common commitment to providing mission-critical support for our customers, and I am certain the MRO technical knowledge, expertise and capabilities we have cultivated in the UK will grow and flourish in North Carolina’s thriving aerospace ecosystem.” In addition to Secretary of Commerce Machelle Baker Sanders, the delegation included Christopher Chung, CEO of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, and Brent Christensen, President, and CEO of Greensboro Chamber of Commerce. “This visit yielded a deep understanding of the high-value work Marshall is delivering for the U.S. Marine Corps and more than a dozen other customers around the world,” said Sanders. “As the new facility comes ever-closer to opening its doors, Marshall is a perfect example of how the burgeoning UK-North Carolina relationship will continue to foster skilled employment and economic activity for our state.” Earlier this week, members of Marshall’s senior leadership team also met with the North Carolina delegation at a series of events facilitated by the UK’s Department of Business and Trade during the Farnborough International Airshow. These engagements charted two years of progress since the July 2022 signing of a landmark economic arrangement between North Carolina and the UK to strengthen economic ties and transition to a clean energy economy.
