Drug dealers are transporting their stashes in mobility scooters, police have revealed.

Dealers are posing as disabled people and pack drugs in the vehicles – which have a top speed of 4mph.

Police say suspects are using scooters because cars can be tracked with number plate cameras, reports The Sun.

A Met Police source said: “We assume they are doing it because they think we won’t search them. These are not disabled people.”

One scooter stopped in South London was covered in jewellery to look “gangsta” – and Class A drugs were hidden inside.
