A drug dealer who sold cocaine in Scarborough has been jailed for four years.

Mark Alan Weaver, 33, was arrested last month when police found a "substantial" amount of drugs and cash during a raid at his address.

Officers believed Weaver was supplying cocaine in the town, using mobile phone data to tie him to the offences.

Weaver, of Spreight Lane Steps, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine, being concerned in the supply of cocaine and possession of criminal property.

North Yorkshire Police detective constable Darrel Temple said: "Drug dealers like Mark Weaver are responsible for untold misery and must be stopped before they cause more harm to vulnerable people and the community in general.

"We will continue to use all the powers at our disposal to deter and disrupt such criminal activity and bring offenders to justice."
