A drug dealer has been jailed for three years after police discovered more than more than £10,000 worth of heroin and crack cocaine at a house in Peterborough.

24-year-old Azeem Nazir was arrested in April 2016, after officers carried out a search of the home on Windmill Street.

They found £2,590 in cash, five mobile phones and 800 small wraps of what were believed to be class A drugs.

Further testing revealed the wraps contained heroine and crack cocaine worth an estimated £10,655.

Nazir pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing class A drugs with intent to supply at Cambridge Crown Court on 6 April.

He was sentenced to three years in prison, for each charge to run concurrently.
