A suspected drug dealer believed to have swallowed class A drugs to escape police detection is making news for being on his 21st day without having as poo. He is on what cops have called a ”poo watch”.
It is unusual for anyone to go that long without having a poo, more especially if drugs have been swallowed. However, this suspect has done close to the impossible so far in not going to the toilet for three weeks. How long he can last is yet to be seen.
The suspect was arrested by officers from Essex Police’s Operation Raptor West, the gangs and urban street crime unit for Harlow, Epping Forest, Brentwood and Thurrock district.

Chief Superintendent Paul Wells, Essex Police’s lead for Operation Raptor, said:
“Drug dealing and a gang lifestyle is not glamorous.
“You’ll be exploited, be the victim or perpetrator of violence, you’ll spend your days wondering whether a rival dealer or police officer will find you first.
“You’ll be expected to courier and deliver drugs and that might involve you swallowing or carrying them inside you, which is particularly dangerous.
“If you are arrested and suspected of having drugs inside you, we can and will keep you in custody until you produce them.
“It’s important that Essex Police continues to highlight the reality around drug and gang-related crime.”
Superintendent Wells is so right, he nailed it right on the head.
