Abbey Wood minicab driver Clive Scales jailed for £1m cocaine bust in Woolwich

A MINICAB driver from Abbey Wood who was busted with more than £1million worth of cocaine in his car has been jailed for three years.

Clive Scales, of Ampleforth Road, was caught with about 1kg of the Class A drug by police in Woolwich on June 11.

Officers saw him undertaking and crossing from one lane to another before he was pulled over outside Waterfront Leisure Centre in Woolwich High Street.

The 53-year-old was arrested after white powder was visable on his nose, chin and jacket.

Officers found a bag of cocaine in the boot of his blue VW Passat along with two mobile phones.

Tests showed the drug to be 91 per cent pure with a street value of more than £1million.

During interviewing, Scales admitted being in possession of drugs and was charged with possession with intent to supply.

He pleaded guilty on June 28 at Woolwich Crown Court to possessing a Class A drug with intent to supply, and on Friday (July 5) he was sentenced to three years behind bars.

Greenwich police DC Yeliz Ersiner, said: “I am really pleased with the result of this investigation. "We will pursue anyone involved in drug dealings and will make sure that they are brought before a court.

"The confiscation of the cocaine in question that day has made a serious dent in the profit of local criminals.”
