Andrew Forajter, 26, threw £876 cash out of a window

Andrew Forajter, 26, threw £876 cash out of a window, but it was recovered by officers sent to search his house in Repton Road, Middlesbrough, on February 20 last year. Officers found a number of rocks of cocaine in the house, including on the top of a television and in a drawer, all ready wrapped, with a total street value of £650. A quantity of cannabis, worth £35 on the street, was also found. Prosecuting at Teesside Crown Court, Richard Wilson said police also found a list of names, seven mobile phones, a roll of clingfilm and a knife. Forajter, who admitted possession of cocaine and cannabis with intent to supply, said he had been dealing for three months and made £40 a day profit. He said he was in debt to an individual who set him up to deal drugs as a way of repaying the money. The court heard how Forajter, who made full and frank admissions to the police, was in breach of a previous suspended sentence for a different crime. He was now drug free after previously using cannabis. The judge, Recorder Ian Thorp said Forajter was a straight forward street-level dealer, but a "vital cog in a wheel" in the drugs venture. He jailed him for three and-a-half years.
