A drug dealer tried and failed to outrun the police as he was caught in possession of more than £400,000 worth of cannabis. Shyqyri Asllani, aged 29, was driving a van on the A453, near Ratcliffe-on-Soar on Thursday 18 April this year when he was spotted by police and pulled over.
Asllani immediately fled the vehicle and ran across nearby farmland in a bid to get away, but was soon chased down and arrested. Police later discovered 40kg of cannabis -, with a street value of around £430,000 - in the back of his van.
