A CONVICTED drug dealer was found hiding in a pile of laundry during a police raid.

He had been sentenced to five years at Inner London Crown Court on December 4, 1997, for dealing Class-A drugs but had failed to pay up a £215,963 confiscation order.

He was sentenced to 810 days in prison at Horseferry Road Magistrates' Court on Tuesday and £113,00 of cash and his assets were frozen.
