TWO cocaine dealers have been jailed after being spotted selling the drug in Rugby.
Detectives spotted a Nissan Qashqai with two passengers parked up on Deepmore Road on Wednesday March 4 at around 6:15pm.
They watched as a man approached the vehicle and took part in a drug deal.
The detectives called for other police vehicles which arrived to prevent the Nissan from leaving.
The driver, 33-year-old Ardian Beqiri, and the passenger, 35-year-old Kadri Kaja, were both arrested.
On the phone of Beqiri were messages showing that he was being directed towards locations, which was suspected as being for the purpose of drug sales.
In Kaja’s pockets, officers found eight bags of cocaine.
A search of the house where the men lived found a solid lump of cocaine weighing 20 grams, 12 deal bags of cocaine, a bag of cannabis, digital scales, and a ‘tick list’, used to track who owes money to the dealers.
Beqiri, of no fixed abode, was jailed for two years for being concerned in the supply of cocaine.
Kaja, of Wentworth Road in Rugby, was jailed for three years for possession of cocaine with intent to supply.
DC Rapkins said: “Kaja and Beqiri were spotted making sales on a street in Rugby – they had no idea we were there until we trapped their car.
“If you’re out selling drugs to our communities, just remember – we could be anywhere, at any time, ready to step in.”
