Man caught dealing drugs from his car jailed

A man has been jailed after he was caught red-handed dealing cocaine out of his car in Rugby.

Arian Varfaj, 53, pleaded guilty to the supply of class A drugs after police saw him engage in suspicious activity on Oxford Street in December.

Warwickshire Police said officers were out patrolling when they witnessed the drugs deal, rushing over to make an arrest.

Varfaj, of no fixed address, was handed a prison sentence of 39 months at Warwick Crown Court on Friday.

Police said when they searched his car they discovered cocaine, cash and a phone he was using to carry out deals.

Det Con Matthew Rapkins said: "These toxic drugs bring poverty, misery and crime wherever they go.

"We are constantly out across the county on plain-clothed patrols and we will continue to target anyone who is willing to sow misery and harm in their community."
