Sukhchain Dale was found with a large stash of Class A drugs after his van was pulled over on the M6 northbound in Birmingham on 27 May this year.

The haul – with a street value of well over £1 million – was seized and the 36-year-old from Showell Lane, Penn, was arrested.

Dale pleaded guilty to possession of drugs with intent to supply and disqualified driving, and was jailed for seven years and four months at Birmingham Crown Court.
