Oswestry Private Hire driver in court for selling meow meow drug


A 42-year-old Shropshire taxi driver who sold the drug “meow meow” from his private hire car has been given a suspended jail sentence.

Simon Perry was found with 11 bags of the Class B drug mephedrone by police when his private hire car was stopped in Oswestry last year.
