A drug dealer went on hunger strike for 20 days in custody before he 'passed' more than 150 wraps of Class A substances - wrapped in two bags the size of PLUMS.

Mohamed Wallace, 24, was later jailed for four years for stashing the drugs, which police said had caused him "a lot of suffering".

He was stopped by police officers on April 6 in Ewell, Surrey, who searched him and his car.

They found three mobiles phones, a bundle of cash, a tub of coco butter, bio oil and feroglobin liquid - which has laxative effects.

Wallace was taken to hospital as police thought he was concealing drugs internally, and they requested a strip search.

But he refused an x-ray and became aggressive towards cops at the East Surrey Hospital A&E.

He was taken into custody where he went on hunger strike while under constant observation.

Police had to apply to court for an extension to his detention in order to continue holding him.

Wallace was charged with driving while disqualified, driving without insurance, breaching an ASBO, and possession of cannabis.

He admitted the charges on April 26 at Staines Magistrates' Court, and was jailed for eight weeks.

The next day, prison staff entered his cell and found him trying to internally secrete drugs.

During a struggle, two bags the size of large plums were found.

One bag contained 45 packets of crack cocaine and 59 wraps of heroin, and the second had 56 packages of crack cocaine.

Wallace had secreted them inside himself when he was originally arrested on April 6.

He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A drugs at Guildford Crown Court on November 15, and two days later was jailed for four years.

Wallace, of no fixed address, was also sentenced for possessing control ID documents with intent, after he provided police with a false UK driving licence on April 6.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Preston said: “Mohamed Wallace put his health at considerable risk while in custody by going on hunger strike, and could have saved himself a lot of suffering.

“This is again another example of our officers proactively patrolling the streets to look for potential offenders and is proving a success in disrupting drugs networks that have come into our county.

“Operation Viking is not stopping any time soon and will continue to make life as uncomfortable as possible for drug dealers coming here to cause trouble.”
