Jerome Vincent, 28, of Marsh Court, St Phillip's Road, Dalston, was stopped in a black Honda Civic in Sewdley Road, Lower Clapton, in May when police spotted him throwing something from his window.
The pavement was searched and a wad of more than £1,000 in cash was discovered.
Vincent, a Jamaican national, was arrested and when searched back at Stoke Newington Police Station, was discovered to have 13 grams of heroin rammed between his buttocks.
He was charged with possession of a class A drug and sentenced to four years in jail at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday July 27 and ordered to be deported at the end of his prison term.
He is still being investigated by police for a 'proceeds of crime' offence over the wad of money.
Darrien Parke, 22, of Wenlock Court, New North Road, Hoxton, was spotted by officers smoking a spliff in Evelyn Walk in November last year.
He was searched on the spot and found to have a rock of crack cocaine at which point he was arrested and taken to Shoreditch Police Station.
Once there he was again searched and found to have 46 wraps of crack and heroin in his underwear.
He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin and crack and was sentenced to three years in jail at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Friday July 23.
DC Suzanne Raferty, said: "These two lengthy sentences will help send out a clear message to anyone involved in drugs activity in Hackney.
"It shows that we are fully committed to tackling this type of offence and determined to obtain prison sentences for known offenders.
