A man from Rainham has been jailed after number plate recognition led to the discovery of Class A, B and C drugs in his car during a police stop.
Muhiber Ali, 25, of Warwick Road was stopped by police at 10.15pm on November 13, 2022 in Giltspur Street.
His car was flagged by the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) for a disqualified driver and licence revocation.
During the stop officers noticed that Ali was "extremely nervous", prompting a search of his vehicle.
Further evidence from a mobile phone revealed that the 25-year-old had been supplying drugs.
He has been sentenced to 31 months' imprisonment at Inner London Crown Court after pleading guilty to possession with the intent to supply Class A drugs.
Ali also pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to supply Class B drugs, which resulted in a ten-month sentence.
He was issued a further four month sentence for possession with the intent to supply Class C drugs.

These sentences will be served concurrently with his 31-month sentence.
Det Cons Westall said: “City of London Police officers are proactively targeting offenders and we are taking action to disrupt and pursue those involved in the supply of Class A drugs on the streets of London.
“This sentencing should send a message to those involved in drug dealing, you will be arrested, charged and sent to prison.”
