A man received a five-year prison sentence after police found £1.5m worth of cocaine in his car during a routine traffic stop on the M6
Stafford: So, there’s this guy, Peter Wiggins, who just got hit with a five-year prison sentence. It all started when he was pulled over on the M6. The police found a serious stash of cocaine in his Vauxhall Astra, worth about £1.5 million. Can you believe that?
It happened during a routine check. The cops stopped him near Stafford Services, and when they searched his car, they found a big box in the boot. Inside were 15 blocks of cocaine, all wrapped up. Talk about a bad day for him!
After his arrest, they searched his home in Blacon and found more stuff, including cash and an offensive weapon. Wiggins didn’t say much during questioning, which probably didn’t help his case. He eventually pleaded guilty, realizing he was in deep trouble.
Detective Sergeant Roy Wellings made it clear that they’re serious about tackling drug crime in Cheshire. He said anyone thinking they can sneak drugs in and out of the area is making a big mistake. Wiggins thought he could get away with it, but he learned the hard way that the police are always watching.
So, yeah, this case is a reminder that drug dealing doesn’t pay off. Wiggins is now facing some serious time behind bars, and it’s a win for the police in their fight against illegal drugs.
