Man jailed after being found guilty of a number of drugs offences

A 61-year-old man from Salford has been jailed for three years after being found guilty of a number of drugs offences.

In January 2020, police raided an address on Claremont Road in Salford where a number of items believed to be used in the production of methamphetamine were found.

A number of drugs, including MDMA, crystal meth and cannabis, were seized from the property.

Stuart Allen, 61, was in the property at the time and was arrested on suspicion of the production of cannabis and possession with intent to supply a class A drug.

Allen was jailed this week after he was convicted of 19 offences including the possession of class A, B and C drugs.

He was also found guilty of being in possession of a taser, PAVA spray and tear gas.

The search warrant was executed as part of Operation Naseby, a targeted response aimed at disrupting organised crime across Salford.

A spokesperson for GMP said: “Our #OpNaseby team helped jail Stuart Allen, 61, for three years this week after he was convicted of 19 offences inc possession of class A, B, & C drugs.

“Allen was at an address officers raided in January last year where MDMA, crystal meth and cannabis were found.”
