Sheffield drug dealer caught with crack cocaine worth £2,500
A Sheffield drug dealer was caught with crack worth nearly £2,500 when police searched his car and home.
Pius Odawo, aged 24, was found with the drugs after police pulled him over in his black Mercedes on a Woodhouse street.
Another male had just been spotted leaning through the driver’s window while it was stationary in a suspected drug deal.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how following his arrest on July 9 last year, officers uncovered 237 milligrams of heroin and 161 wraps of crack cocaine from Odawo.
During a raid of his home later they found a further 500 milligrams of crack - a combined 166 street deals of crack and heroin.
The crack deals alone were estimated to have a street value of £2,342.
Judge Rachael Harrison, deferring Odawo’s sentence until September 10, told him she was putting him “on trust”.
She told him: “You’ve made a lot of effort since this offence - but if you go back to drug dealing I will send you to prison.
“If you have got your drinking, drug taking and criminal behaviour under control we will see where you are when we come back.”
Odawo, of Spital Street, admitted possessing crack and heroin with intent to supply.
