A 23-year-old man was today convicted of drug dealing after a trial at Oxford Crown Court.

Triston Lawrence, of Nettlebed Mead, in Blackbird Leys, Oxford, denied four counts of possession of Class-C and A drugs with intent to supply and one charge of escape from lawful custody.

A jury took less than three hours to convict Lawrence of all five charges.

His cousin, Anthony Smith, 28, of Woodin's Way, Oxford, was found guilty of dangerous driving and assisting an offender.

The trial heard that police had found £15,000 worth of heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine and cannabis after raiding a property in Berry Close, Blackbird Leys, last July.

Both men have been remanded in custody until sentencing on April 21.
