Moment dopey drug dealer is arrested by police after falling off his electric bike while trying to show off to officers – who then find 38 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin on him
A swaggering drug dealer was arrested after falling off his electric bike while trying to show off to police officers.
Footage showed Corey Whitehead driving past officers parked in a distinctive police car.
The teen, who was wearing a balaclava, tried to skid on the Sur-Ron E-Bike but slid before trying to run away.
But it was later discovered by police that he had 38 packets of crack cocaine and heroin.
Whitehead also had £2,500 cash on him, as well as a large knife in his waistband, and his mobile phone contained evidence that he was dealing drugs.

The teenager showed off his bicycle for officers, but was later placed in handcuffs after it was discovered he was carrying 38 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin.
Bodycam footage of his arrest showed the 18-year-old looking stone-faced as he was handcuffed.
One police officer said: ‘Put your arms up, mate.
‘It’s 11.24am. You are under arrest for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.”
Whitehead was arrested in November in the Ely, Caerau, Cardiff, South Wales area.
A South Wales Police spokesperson said: ‘In November, officers were parked in a marked police van in Ely when Corey Whitehead, 18, wearing a balaclava, rode past them on his Sur-Ron e-bike.
‘He then attempted to perform a skidding maneuver in front of the van but lost control and fell off.
‘When he tried to escape on foot, officers stopped him and carried out a search of his home.
‘He was subsequently found in possession of 38 wraps of crack cocaine and heroin.’
