A “naive” Leeds teenager caught with Class A drugs tried to argue he was paying off a debt - but the maths didn’t add up.

Connagh McGuire was caught with a grip-sealed bag of cocaine and another seven bags close by him, after police spotted him with two other males on March 22 last year. The three suspects ran off into the grounds of a church and only McGuire was detained.

As well as the Class A drugs, the defendant was in possession of a small amount of cannabis and a Nokia phone. A batch of dealer business cards were found on the floor near him, which advertised ‘flake’ and listed the phone number linked to the Nokia.
