A 23-year-old man was caught by police with a stash of cash hidden in his underwear while dealing drugs in Norfolk
Thetford: So, there’s this guy named Reece Irvine, just 23 years old, who got pulled over by the cops on Norwich Road. They found him with a bunch of cash wrapped in clingfilm, and guess where? Yep, stuffed down his boxers. Not the smartest hiding spot, right?
In court, it came out that he had two phones and was linked to a gang called Scouse Chez, which was all about supplying drugs in the area. The judge heard he was sending loads of messages to folks looking for drugs. Talk about being caught red-handed!
When they checked his phones, they found out his personal phone was hanging out with the drug dealer phones. This all happened after he got arrested last October. He ended up admitting to dealing class A drugs like diamorphine and crack cocaine.
They sentenced him to over five years in prison. The judge said it was a serious offense, especially since he was holding two phones for the operation. His lawyer tried to argue that he was just a kid under pressure, but the judge wasn’t having it.
Now, Irvine says he’s learned his lesson and wants to turn his life around. Let’s hope he sticks to that plan when he gets out!
