Police on patrol in Dungannon spotted young man stuffing sock containing 'sizeable amount' of cocaine into a car seat, court told
A man with an address in Dungannon was seen by police stuffing a sock filled with cocaine into a car seat, the town’s magistrates’ court has heard.
Ceasar Dafe, aged 20, from Lambfield Drive, faces a charge of unlawfully possessing the Class A drug on March 12.
District Judge Francis Rafferty remarked that 24.03 grams is a “sizeable amount”, and adjourned the case until December 12 for a short pre-sentence report.
The court heard the offence came to light after police on mobile patrol in the Dungannon area stopped with a group of males at the rear of a building in the town.
Prosecuting counsel said Ceasar was a rear seat passenger and was seen stuffing a sock into the car seat.
The lawyer said this was later found to be filled with the Class A drug cocaine, weighing 24.03 grams.
He said Ceasar was arrested and during a police interview at Lurgan custody suite made full admissions but denied it was for supplying.
