COVERT surveillance footage recorded by a police officer hiding in a bush was played to a jury in a drugs conspiracy trial yesterday.

Ryan Davies, 33, of Kelburne Road, Oxford, denies being part of a conspiracy to supply cocaine.

Video evidence was shown on the second day of his trial in Oxford Crown Court.

The builder and owner of the Black Swan pub, in Crown Street, Oxford, is accused of being involved in a plot to supply the drug between August 15 and October 12 last year.

The trial continues.
