Watch the moment Wellingborough drug dealer is caught by police saying heroin and crack wraps 'not mine'
A Wellingborough drug dealer has been jailed after pleading guilty to possession and intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin.
Jordan Lang, 24, of Tybalt Close, Wellingborough, was caught by Cambridgeshire Police neighbourhood officers in St Ives and after a trial at Cambridge Crown Court on Friday (March 21) was sentenced to four years in prison.
Lang had been pursued by officers through the town – making off on an e-scooter before discarding it and running while also throwing packages of suspected drugs along the way.
Detective Constable Kieran Wickens said: “Officers acted on their instincts and as a result, another drug dealer has been removed from our community.
“Drugs bring misery and violence to our communities and we will continue to put those responsible before the courts.”
Police were on patrol in the town on the evening of October 23, 2024 when they spotted Jordan Lang on an e-scooter.
When he saw the police in Houghton Road, Lang scooted off before abandoning it to continue on foot. As he ran he threw packages of drugs over fences.
Officers recovered 90 wraps of heroin and 80 wraps of crack cocaine with a street value of £1,700. They also recovered his mobile phone, containing messages linked to drug dealing, in a nearby garden.
