Azizbek Egamshukurov, 21, jailed after cocaine found in Nescafé box during vehicle search in London Road, Ipswich

A 21-year-old man has been jailed for more than three years after £20,000 worth of cocaine was discovered hidden in a Nescafé box.

Azizbek Egamshukurov, 21, of Great Avenham Street, Preston, was sentenced to three years and seven months on July 17 after pleading guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply drugs.

He was stopped by police on December 10 while driving alone in a black Honda Jazz in London Road, Ipswich.

A search of the car uncovered 252 grams of uncut cocaine inside a Nescafé container in the glove box with an estimated street value between £18,675 and £24,900.

Officers also seized £130 in cash and a mobile phone, which led them to a property in Clapgate Lane, Ipswich, where 13 grip-seal bags of cocaine were found inside two vapes, along with £290 in cash.

Egamshukurov initially denied knowledge of the drugs, claiming others used the car, but forensic tests found his fingerprint inside the box.
