A drug dealer has been jailed after pictures of him posing with decks of cash were found on his phone.

Ryan Bragg was arrested when officers executed a warrant at his property in Moat Lane, Canterbury, on November 21.

Two large knives, £11,000 in cash and around 320g of cocaine, which has an estimated street value of £30,000, were seized during the search.

The 21-year-old tried to flee the scene by climbing out of a window but was stopped by officers and detained.

A phone found at the property contained messages showing it had been used to arrange drug deals in the city as well as photos of him posing with huge piles of money.

Bragg was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to supply, which he admitted at Canterbury Crown Court on September 1.

Yesterday, he was jailed for three years at the same court with more court hearings to recover proceeds of crime planned.

Det Sgt Jon Saxby described Bragg as a “remorseless drug dealer”.

“Photos found on devices in this investigation show Ryan Bragg was a remorseless drug dealer who was happy to profit from the addictions and misery of often vulnerable people,” he said.

“The knives found in his possession illustrate the serious violence that all too regularly goes hand in hand with drug dealing, and I'm glad he is now off the streets of Canterbury.”
