Jousif Nechirvan, 26, was driving a Honda Jazz in Lincoln Road, Peterborough, at about 2am on 26 April, 2020, when he was stopped by officers. They asked him to get out of the car and noticed a knife near the driver’s seat. When challenged about this Nechirvan claimed he used it when cooking barbeques. Officers searched the car and discovered a plastic tub behind the driver’s seat containing 24 wraps of cocaine worth up to £720. Nechirvan, of Redgate Court, Peterborough, claimed he used the drug to treat dizziness. However, he later admitted possession of a knife in a public place and possession with intent to supply cocaine and on Thursday (24 February) was jailed for three years at Cambridge Crown Court. Detective Sergeant Matt Lauch said: “These substances cause havoc with the lives of people trapped in addiction. Drug dealing can also cause significant issues for our communities, with links to anti-social behaviour and violence.”
