A blundering drug dealer leaped from an upstairs window then bounded over a fence to escape from police – without realising he was being watched by a drone.
Fugitive Sambou Kassama, 27, was seen by eye-in-the sky officers who saw him try to hide in a neighbours’ garden in Ely, Cardiff.
Kassama’s athletic escape efforts were in vain – and he was arrested and has now been jailed.
