A drug dealer who posed with a spliff and wads of cash has been jailed for three years after baiting police.
Ryan Bragg was found with two large knives, £11,000 in cash and around 320g of cocaine, which has an estimated street value of around £30,00, when arrested by police at his den in Canterbury, Kent. The 21-year-old, known in drug dealing circles by his last name, tried to escape out of a window from the property in November last year but was instantly snared by cops from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate.
A phone found at the property contained messages showing it had been used to arrange drug deals in the city as well as a picture of Bragg posing with cash whilst smoking drugs. Bragg was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to supply, which he admitted at Canterbury Crown Court in September.

On Tuesday (October 10), he was jailed for three years at the same court. There are further court hearings planned to recover the proceeds of crime that Bragg made during his drug dealing spree.
Detective Sergeant Jon Saxby, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "Photos found on devices in this investigation show Ryan Bragg was a remorseless drug dealer who was happy to profit from the addictions and misery of often vulnerable people.
"The knives found in his possession illustrate the serious violence that all too regularly goes hand in hand with drug dealing and I'm glad he is now off the streets of Canterbury."

And earlier this year, having dealt with other drug dealers, he said: “Kent Police will not tolerate criminals coming into the county to deal drugs which lead to further crime and anti-social behaviour . . . and are all part of our ongoing work to bring drug dealers to justice and take class A drugs off the streets of Kent.”
