A pair of ageing drug dealers have been jailed for more than six years after being caught selling crack and heroin from a car.

David Jones was twice found plying his evil trade in Leeds last year by suspicious police. On the second occasion, Kevin Brown was with him. They both appeared at Leeds Crown Court this week. The court heard that on August 28 last year, officers spotted what they thought was a drug deal taking place on Raynville Road in Bramley, so moved in to make arrests. The passenger of the VW Passat got out and was seen to throw a bag of white powder away as he tried to run. He was apprehended.
