A drug dealer who tried to palm off a punter with garden grass instead
of cannabis was caught out when the "customer" told police he had been
robbed. Demier Edwards-Campbell was jailed for three and a half years after
being found guilty of possession with intent to supply class A drugs
following a trial at Kingston Crown Court. The 21-year-old's narcotics
enterprise came tumbling down when police were called to Surbiton,
south-west London, in May last year to reports of a robbery.
Officers then discovered the "victim" of the robbery had arranged to
meet Edwards-Campbell to buy cannabis, and had paid the dealer £225 before realizing he had been fobbed off with garden grass. Police later found more than 100 wraps of heroin and crack cocaine at Edwards-Campbell’s home address in Southfields.
Detective constable Paul Lawlor, from Kingston police, said: "The
'customer,' miffed at his discovery, went back and detained his dealer
and demanded his money back.
When Edwards-Campbell refused he called police claiming he had been
robbed.
Had we not been alerted by his irate client we may never have
