A DRUG dealer caught with 170 bags of heroin and crack cocaine concealed in his body is now behind bars.

Chad Taylor from Liverpool was sentenced to four years in prison at Chester Crown Court on Friday after being convicted of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

The 21-year-old was arrested after police raided a flat Grasmere Avenue on Thursday, February 11 at around 1pm.

The warrant was executed by police as part of a series of strikes over a number of days in February.

Taylor was forced to remain in police custody after he was arrested until he produced the drugs, which were valued at £1,700.
