Kane Haynes, 26, was caught attempting to snatch a red iPhone from the passenger seat while driving his Ford Kuga on Wainman Road, Woodston, on 28 October. Police quickly arrested him at the scene.
Although officers did not find any heroin or crack cocaine on Haynes during the stop, the key evidence came from his mobile phones. Text messages revealed bulk deals for heroin and crack cocaine, directly linking him to the drug trade.
Haynes, who lives in Harrier Way, Market Deeping, pleaded guilty to supplying class A drugs. On 23 January, Cambridge Crown Court sentenced him to two years and six months in prison.
Detective Constable Tom Corbett said: “Although no class A drugs were recovered, it was clear from phone evidence that Haynes was involved in supplying these substances. Crack cocaine and heroin ruin lives by trapping people in addiction and cause misery through anti-social behaviour and crime.”
