A drug dealer posing as a Deliveroo driver runs from police - as they tackle him and find cannabis and cocaine in his bag.
Officers were on patrol when they spotted Nahro Gharib, 25, making an exchange of something that looked suspicious.
In a video shared by South Wales Police titled 'Deliveroo Rider Drugs', officers can be seen questioning Gharib while inspecting his e-bike.
As they speak to him, he insists: "It's a legal bike, I swear to God", before suddenly running away and attempting to flee the area.
Bodycam footage shows officers quickly detaining Gharib before finding several bags of cannabis hidden inside a tub of yogurt in his fake Deliveroo bag.

He also pleaded guilty to acquiring, using, and possessing criminal property, namely cash; supplying cannabis; and using a motor vehicle on a road and public place without third-party insurance.
