Suffolk police chiefs to hold final public meeting of the year online

Why it matters: The arrest led to the discovery of more than £20,000 worth of uncut cocaine at an Ipswich address. Regi Salillari, 28, from Albania, was stopped by officers from the West Area Sentinel team on 29 January while driving in Thorney Way, Stowmarket.

The details: When approached by police, Salillari attempted to deceive officers by producing a counterfeit Italian driving licence.

Officers searched him and found:

• Four bags of cocaine hidden in his underwear

• More than £500 in cash

Following his arrest, a search of an address in Ipswich uncovered:

• More than £20,000 worth of uncut cocaine

• Over £1,000 in cash

In court: Salillari appeared at Ipswich Crown Court on 26 March, where he pleaded guilty to:

• Possession with intent to supply cocaine

• Driving with no insurance

• Possessing a fraudulent document with intent to deceive

What they're saying: PC Harry Tully from the West Sentinel team said: "Salillari came to Stowmarket with the sole intention of supplying Class A drugs in the town. When intercepted by officers he attempted to deceive them by proving false details and producing fake documents which he had clearly gone to some lengths to obtain."

"Fortunately, the tenacious officers quickly saw past this elaborate ruse and he was arrested. We will continue to proactively target those involved in organised crime wherever they might be in our county."

The bottom line: Salillari now begins a 38-month prison term, as Suffolk authorities maintain their stance of significant custodial sentences for Class A drug dealers operating in the county.
