Obviously not an authorised dealer!

I see the same faces dealing down there quite openly day in day out.

They certainly have no need to be running away when the police walk by, same as the jet ski scammers don't.

Seen the size of what he had. They need to concentrate on the bigger criminals and authorized dealers.
