A dopey drug dealer who had more than 8kg of cannabis worth around £85,000 was caught - after he left Tesco and Argos receipts behind at a drug den.
Ardi Pula - jailed this week for 23 months - was caught by cops who used the time and date on the receipts to see him on CCTV making the purchases. Pula, 24, bought items such as as security equipment to help protect the property in Holbeck, Leeds. Police had raided the semi-detached last November and found plants had been stripped and dried, along with vacuum packed bags of the class B drug. There was a total of 8.5kg worth an estimated street value of £85,000.
During his police interview he gave a prepared statement, claiming he worked as a cleaner but denied ever being inside the house. Further investigations suggested he had also sent more than £6,000 back to Albania. He later admitted dealing in cannabis, possession of criminal property and possession of fake ID documents. Glenn Parsons, mitigating, said like many Albanians, Pula had come to the UK illegally in hope of finding legitimate work and had no intention of turning to crime.
