A MAN has been jailed after being caught with class A drugs at Slough rail station -- with officers finding diamorphine in a Kinder Egg container in his pants!

Jermaine Duhaney, of Mildenhall Road, Slough, was caught out at the station on Friday, April 24, 2020 -- one month after lockdown was imposed in England.

Officers approached the 36-year-old to ask him his reasons for travelling given the coronavirus restrictions in place.

He was reluctant to engage with British Transport Police officers, however, and was “constantly touching his pockets”.

Duhaney originally told police he was shopping but then changed his story, telling officers he was actually meeting friends.

A second phone was spotted on the man and police noticed he was wearing two pairs of trousers.

Due to his suspicious behaviour and change of answers, he was searched under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.

After being searched, he was found to be in possession of several wraps of crack cocaine concealed in a yellow Kinder Egg container.

Duhaney was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs of Class A status and remanded in police custody for questioning.

A strip search was authorised, and a second yellow Kinder Egg container was found concealed in his underwear, containing around nine wraps of diamorphine.

The Class A drugs seized were identified as two grams of crack cocaine and four grams of diamorphine, with a street value of around £360.

Last month he was sentenced to four years behind bars after being sentenced for two counts of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug of Class A status.

BTP Detective Constable Lauren Pace said: “The movement of drugs on the railway network will absolutely not be tolerated, and we are grateful to the courts for the sentence imposed.

“Thanks to the proactive work of our officers, potentially harmful crack cocaine and diamorphine is out of circulation and Duhaney will have time to reflect on his actions behind bars.

“Whether you see us or not, our dedicated officers are patrolling the rail network daily to tackle the movement of drugs and illicit cash across the country and disrupt the County Lines business model.

“If see something that doesn’t look right on the rail network, text us on 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40. In an emergency, always dial 999.”
