A man has been jailed after being caught with cash, drugs and an extendable baton in Peterborough

Bartlomiej Bialecki, aged 40, was a passenger in a black Audi that was stopped by police because they believed it to be stolen at about 7.20pm on 8 August 2021.

As it travelled along South Street, in Stanground, Peterborough, Police signalled for the driver to pull over.

Cambridgeshire Police said:

"Bialecki, of no known address, was holding a backpack which was searched and found to contain £160 in cash, bags of amphetamines and cannabis, as well as the baton."

At Cambridge Crown Court on Tuesday (19 November), Bialecki was sentenced to nine months and one week in prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply cannabis, possession with intent to supply amphetamine and possessing an offensive weapon in public.

Det Sgt Jenny Blunt, who investigated, said:

“This case proves that drugs and violence often go hand in hand, which is why tackling drug dealing continues to be a priority for neighbourhood policing teams across the county.”
