A DRUG dealer was found to be in possession of thousands of pounds worth of drugs at his home after a tip-off from neighbours.
Police raided the home of Matthew Stevens in Dobson Road in Crawley in July 2016 and found cocaine, spice, and drugs paraphernalia.
The 44-year-old was arrested and charged on suspicion of possessing class A and B drugs with the intent to supply.
He denied the charges, but at Hove Crown Court he was found guilty by the jury.
The drugs were worth around £13,500, police said, and he was sentenced to four years in prison.
Detective Constable Mark Buckley said: “We work diligently to stop the supply of illegal drugs within our community.”
