A DRUG dealer caught red-handed with £1,425 of criminal cash has been jailed for three years.

Sarfraz Khan, 31, threw away 90 wraps of heroin and crack cocaine when he was being chased by the police on October 31, 2013.

Khan, of Boarswell Drive, Bolton Road, Bradford, pleaded guilty to two offences of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply and possession of criminal property.

Prosecutor Paul Nicholson told Bradford Crown Court yesterday that Khan had parked up in Gladstone Street, Bradford Moor, in his black Seat Leon when the police swooped.

Officers had seen Khan walking up a snicket to co-accused Bryan Morris's then address in Amberley Court, Thornbury, Bradford.

A stash of heroin and a dealer list were found at the house.

Morris, 52, of Grattan Road, Bradford, was convicted by a jury at the crown court in January for possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply and jailed for seven years.

Mr Nicholson said that Khan flung away 90 wraps of Class A drugs while running away from the police.

In 2007, he was jailed for four years for street dealing Class A drugs.

Khan's barrister, James Bourne-Arton, said he had helped with charity projects and his pregnant wife was in court to support him. The couple already had two children.

No drugs or dealer lists were found at Khan's home when he was arrested.

He was ferrying drugs and money from one place to another under instructions from those higher up the chain.

Khan was involved with drugs to pay off a debt and the offending took place more than 18 months ago.

The Recorder of Bradford, Judge Roger Thomas QC, said Khan was involved in a slick drugs operation.

Morris, who was more than 20 years Khan's senior, was "a helpless and pathetic" individual who had lived in squalor at the address raided by the police.

Khan was caught red-handed by the police, visiting Morris's home where the drugs and dealer list were stored.
