A teenager who admitted stashing almost £100,000 of heroin is due to be sentenced today.

The 16-year-old from Hunt Road, Southall, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin and riding a stolen scooter with no insurance at Isleworth Crown Court on July 12.

He was arrested at the Sikh Vaisakhi festival when cops caught him riding the stolen moped. He managed to evade officers and ditched the bike, but was caught a short time later.

When officers found the scooter they also discovered a rucksack, which had three bags of heroin in it. A search of his bedroom uncovered a shoebox full of the drug, with an estimated street value of £100,000.

He is due to be sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court today.
