‘Prolific’ drug dealer throws stash out window as police raid Northampton house

A drug dealer was caught on camera throwing his stash out a window as police raided a house in Northampton.

Askor Ali has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison after being charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, production of Class A drugs, possession of Class B drugs, and possession of criminal property.

He was arrested on 1 April when officers from the Northampton Neighbourhood Team executed a warrant at his home address.

Ali attempted to conceal evidence by throwing a phone and a quantity of drugs out of the window, where PCSOs were waiting underneath to catch the evidence.

The warrant uncovered a quantity of crack cocaine and cannabis and a subsequent examination of Ali’s phone uncovered evidence that Ali was a prolific dealer.
