POLICE found a huge drugs haul potentially worth more than £200,000 on the streets that a serial drug dealer was “trusted” enough to be allowed to look after.

The lucrative supply.

Matthew Garner was the driver. He had white powder in a bag in his trouser pocket. There was wrapped brown powder in the passenger footwell. Garner, a banned driver, had £44.80 cash on him, two cannabis joints and a three-inch knife in a glove box.

His home was searched and more drugs were found as well as a knuckle duster, digital scales and a knife. There were no Class A drugs there.
