A 39 year old Harpurhey man has been jailed for four year after worth of cocaine and cannabis were found in his kitchen, packaged and ready for sale.
The court heard that in February this year Andrew Oldham’s home at Kingsbridge Rd
was searched and in the kitchen, officers found a plastic JD Sports bag filled with over £4,000 worth of class A and class B drugs, individually packaged for distribution, as well as a list of debtors, and a set of electric scales.
In March 2020 during a stop and search, Oldham was found in possession of nearly £400 worth of cannabis and over £4000 in cash.
In April 2020, following a warrant at his home, officers found over £1,500 worth of Class A and Class B drugs, as well as a mobile phone containing “orders”.
Detective Constable Liam Carolan from the City of Manchester North district team said: “I am pleased with today’s result as it means a significant amount of drugs have been prevented from making their way onto the streets of Greater Manchester, and a significant amount of money prevented from ended up in the hands of organised criminals.
“We are committed to tackling the supply of drugs, which completely destroy lives and blight our communities.
“Oldham is a persistent offender, I hope this highlights our determination to stamp out this sort of criminality and serves as a warning to anyone dealing drugs that sooner or later their criminal life will catch up with them.
