Moment police pull over drug dealer and admits ‘there’s a LOT of coke’ in his car boot: Crook jailed for eight years after officers seize £1.9M worth of cocaine in supermarket bags
- Video shows Kieran Grant, 40, being pulled over for driving a Skoda without insurance
- Essex police told ‘lots of’ cocaine in ‘bags for life’ during search
- Police found 42 pounds of cocaine with a street value of £1.9 million in the boot of the car.
This is the moment when a drug dealer arrested by the police admitted that there was “a lot of coke” in the trunk of his car.
The video shows Kieran Grant, 40, being questioned by Essex Police officers after he was pulled over on the M11 for driving a Skoda Fabia without insurance at around 10:30pm on March 31 last year.
Grant can be heard confessing to having drugs in the trunk of the vehicle, before officers found 19 wrapped blocks of cocaine weighing nearly 42 pounds packed in two grocery “bags for life.”
The force said the cocaine, valued at £1.9m, was “undoubtedly bound for the streets of Essex”.
Kieran Grant had been pulled over by police for driving a car without insurance when the drugs were discovered.
Nineteen blocks of cocaine were discovered in the back of the Skoda on the London-bound carriageway.
Grant was jailed for eight years on January 13 for possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, after admitting to both charges at Chelmsford Magistrates Court in April last year.
Body camera footage shows a police officer asking the drug dealer: “Is there anything in the car or on you that I should be aware of?”
Grant quickly replies, “In the trunk.”
When the officers ask what’s in the trunk, the criminal replies: ‘Drugs, lots and lots. Cocaine.’
In the body cam footage, Grant tells a police officer in the short clip that there are “a lot” of drugs in the trunk of the car.
Grant admitted to the charges against him in April 2022 and was jailed for eight years on January 13 for possession with intent to supply
The blocks of cocaine were seized from the back of the Skoda. Police said the drugs were “destined for the streets of Essex”.
Detective Sergeant Leo Fordham, of the Essex Serious and Organized Crime Unit, said: “This was a sizeable seizure of drugs that were undoubtedly destined for the streets of Essex.”
‘We know all too well the harm drugs cause, both to those who take them and to those who supply them.
‘In this case, driving a car without insurance proved to be Grant’s undoing and gave him away as a complicit criminal courier. He will now spend a significant amount of time behind bars for his actions.’
