A Manchester drugs dealer has been jailed following a National Crime Agency investigation into the supply of Class A drugs.
Stuart James, 45, was sentenced to seven-and-a-half-years at Manchester Crown Court
In August last year, NCA officers raided his home in Marsland Road, Sale, a lock-up in Failsworth and a disused business premises on Mitford Street, Stretford, which James used as a pill production factory.
Officers discovered 17,000 MDMA pills weighing 6kg and with a street value of around £200,000.
Officers also discovered just over half a kilo of cannabis and a series of pill presses.
James, an odd-job man, was arrested on 22 August as he drove through Cheadle in a blue transit van.
He admitted production of Class A drugs and possession with intent to supply cannabis.
