Wheeler-Dealer: Drug dealer’s stash found in car airbag

Police find over a grand’s worth of drugs in a car on Headingley Lane.


A drug dealer operating in Leeds was arrested for keeping over £1000’s worth of cannabis and MDMA in his car airbag.

The situation really has blown up in the face of 22-year old Kevin Granelli, who had been released on bail the day before for possession of cannabis.

Granelli told police before they searched his car that there were no drugs in the vehicle, but officers found bags of the stuff – 23 to be exact.

The plastic bags of skunk cannabis and MDMA amounted to £1,132 and Granelli also had a further £590’s worth in his possession.

His VW Bora was stopped on the 23rd of December, on Headingley Lane, close to the heavily student-populated Hyde Park.

Kevin Granelli now faces three years in prison after pleading guilty to the charges of possession of a class A and C drugs with intent to supply.
