Darcy Holder-Smith’s car had broken down on the M56 near Runcorn in Cheshire on March 4, and after he stopped talking to him, police suspected his behavior and searched the vehicle. Police found 10 compressed pieces of cocaine, three mobile phones and a quantity of cash in the black BMW 3 series. One expert estimated that the drugs had a resale value of between .000 360,000 and 20 420,000. The 22-year-old from Coventry pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply and was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison last Friday. Following Holder-Smith’s conviction, Detective Officer Ian Prashar said: “I welcome the outcome of this case which resulted in the recovery of a large quantity of Class A drugs and the person in charge is now facing a significant prison sentence. He added: “I hope this result sends a strong warning to other offenders, the message is clear, if you come to Cheshire to commit a crime, you will be arrested and brought to justice.”
