Garry pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown Court to conspiracy to supply crack cocaine and heroin on Thursday, July 7. The dealer was jailed for four years.
Detective Inspector Gary Stratton said: “Garry thought he could evade justice but he is now paying for his crime. We welcome this sentence because it has prevented Garry from harming communities by selling drugs on the streets of Runcorn.
“I would ask anyone who has any information about who is supplying or selling drugs in their area to contact us so we can take action.”
