Drug dealer caught with cocaine in Cambridge

A drug dealer has been jailed after being caught with cocaine in Cambridge.

Police from the Neighbourhood Support Team were on patrol in Cambridge on 18 December 2023 when they spotted a red Mazda acting suspiciously in Campkin Road.

Officers followed the vehicle and checks revealed it was insured to two different people at two different addresses.

The requested the driver to stop but he ignored them before reaching a dead end on Somerset Close.

The passenger, Daniel Myftarago, 27, of Alder Walk, Ilford, Essex, was searched and officers found cocaine, two mobile phones and £270 in cash.

In September Myftarago was found guilty of possession with intent to supply cocaine, being concerned in the supply of cocaine and possession of criminal property following a four-day trial.

At Huntingdon Law Courts on Friday (6 November) he was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison.

PC Jodie Skells, who investigated, said: “We will continue to target people like Myftarago who come into our county to deal drugs. Drugs bring misery and associated violence to communities and will not be tolerated.
