A drug dealer who bragged to former schoolmates on Friends Reunited about how much money he was making selling cocaine has been jailed after police saw his online boasting.
Raymond Casling, 24, who had attended Rye Hills School in Redcar, Teesside said on the website: "I'm doing very well. I'm selling a lot of charlie in Redcar and I've got three sports cars."

Local police had been investigating Casling even before seeing his Friends Reunited posting.
They were suspicious of his lavish lifestyle, complete with a Porsche 911, despite his legal earnings of only £45 per week working in a seaside amusement arcade.
Detective Constable Tim Murphy from the Langbaurgh Drugs Squad expressed incredulity at Casling's stupidity for boasting about his shady drugs deals on one of the most popular websites in the UK.
Casling was jailed last week for three years.
