A man who was found with drugs stuffed inside a sock and more than £2,000 in cash has been jailed for 18 months – with the seized cash donated to a West Sussex charity.

Alpay Seydali was arrested last September after he was stopped during proactive police patrols in Woking.

When he and his vehicle were searched, officers uncovered a total of £2,270 in cash.

Seydali, 22, of no fixed address, was sentenced to a total of 18 months in prison at Chichester Crown Court on January 17.

The judge ordered for the seized cash to be forfeited, and it will be donated to mental health charity The Young People’s Shop, based in Chichester.

Investigating officer PC Chris West, of West Surrey’s Neighbourhood Policing Investigation Team, said: “This result has removed another criminal from our streets, and is evidence of how important reporting information to police can be.
