		</div><p>A drug dealer who was caught carrying £185,000 of cocaine while on a day out with his daughter in England has been jailed, police there have said.</p>
<p>Carl Brookes, 31, was arrested as he left Five Ways railway station in Birmingham with his three-year-old daughter on April 14.</p>
<p>Officers found a kilogram (2.2lbs) of compressed cocaine at 93% purity in a drawstring bag which he was carrying.</p>
<p>An industrial press containing traces of cocaine was also found at his address in Aqueduct Lane, Alvechurch.</p>
<p>West Midlands Police said Brookes pleaded guilty to possession of a Class A drug with intent to supply and jailed for eight years and seven months at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday.</p>
<p>Detective Constable Phil Caldwell, from the Serious and Organised Crime Unit, said: &#8220;Brookes clearly used his daughter as a smokescreen to deflect attention from his criminal activity.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s abhorrent that he should use a young child in such a way and I am pleased that he will be spending time behind bars to reflect on his actions.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will not tolerate drug dealing and the associated criminality and anti-social behaviour it brings to our communities.&#8221;</p>
