Drug dealer caught by police after being seen riding a 'suspicious' pink bike
Coventry drug dealer arrested after police spot him riding around on a pink bike, and a search reveals his cannabis stash
Police in Coventry arrested a drug dealer after he was spotted riding around on a distinctive pink bike, which they had suspected was stolen.
As the police approached Corey McAleaney in Henley Green, he attempted to ride away from them. However, the 20-year-old was caught and 'brought to the ground'.
A search revealed that he was carrying a significant quantity of cannabis and cash, according to the Coventry Telegraph.

McAleaney subsequently pleaded guilty to possession and the intent to supply drugs at Warwick Crown Court, and was handed a suspended 10-month prison sentence.
McAleaney will now move in with his parents under 'strict conditions'. They will supervise his conduct and report him to a probation officer should he lapse back into drug dealing.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
