Woman in Liverpool drug gang 'plagued' town with cocaine and heroin

A woman who "plagued" a Cheshire town by selling cocaine and heroin was part of a Liverpool county lines drug gang.

Jade Grannell, 32, found herself on Cheshire Police's radar after former home on Binney Road, Northwich, was plagued by anti-social behaviour and drug related offences.

Grannell was arrested by police on Royle Street after being found in possession of Class A drugs on November 25 of last year.

Following her arrest, a search was conducted at her Binney Road address where officers discovered further class A drugs.

During questioning Grannell admitted to officers that she had been dealing drugs on behalf or a county lines drugs gang from Liverpool.

Jade Grannell, now of Old Orchard Place, Crewe, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Monday, September 13 where she was jailed for 16 months.

She pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

Sergeant Dave Christmas said: “I welcome the sentence handed to Grannell and I hope that it provides reassurance to the residents who were impacted by her behaviour.

“This case was part of our ongoing crackdown on county lines drug dealing and while Grannell is now behind bars and we will continue to crackdown on county lines dealers coming into our town.”

Chief Inspector Gary Smith, of Northwich Local Policing Unit, said: “Illegal drugs have a hugely detrimental impact and we are committed to doing all we can to remove those involved in the supply of such drugs from our communities.

“Information from the public is vital in this this fight and I urge anyone with any information about suspected drug related activity in their community to get in touch.

“You will be listened to and we will investigate the matter.”
