THIS is the first picture of a kilo block of cocaine allegedly brought from London to Swindon by a town cabbie.

Taxi driver Edson Monteiro de Resende, 34, denies being part of a gang that arranged for the package - with a street value of £200,000 - to be trafficked from London to the Wiltshire town in September 2017.

Five men, including the former boyfriend of Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, are currently on trial at Bristol Crown Court charged with conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

Nakhell Gordon, 32, formerly of Eastwood Close, London, Harry Byart, 25, of Merlin Close, Waltham Abbey, Marcus Mawire, 24, of Milton Road, Sittingbourne, Monteiro de Resende, 34, of Pasteur Drive, Swindon, and Dean Mulholland, 28, of Limes Avenue, Swindon, deny conspiracy to supply cocaine.

The image of the block of cocaine, seized by police as they stopped de Resende’s car in Ferndale, was shown to jurors and issued by the Crown Prosecution Service.

The trial continues at Bristol Crown Court next week.
