Drug dealer jailed after crashing into parked car during pursuit with police in Peterborough
A drug dealer who crashed into a parked car while trying to escape police in Peterborough has been jailed for almost four years.
Police say Francisco Ramos (24) was driving a Volkswagen Polo in Newark Avenue, Dogsthorpe, on August 7 when he accelerated away from officers before crashing into a parked car in Derby Drive.
A police spokesperson said: “Officers caught up with Ramos at a filling station in Eastfield Road and arrested him on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving without a licence and driving without insurance.
Police say 40 wraps of heroin were found in the driver’s side of the car with Ramos’ bank card and house key and he was further arrested for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
Ramos, of Exeter Road, New England, Peterborough, admitted the offences and was jailed for 45 months and banned from driving for 40 months at Peterborough Crown Court on September 25.
DC Igor Simonov said: “It is fortunate no one was injured.”
