A 21 year old man has been jailed for three years after an early morning raid on his address in Gorton uncovered his network of drug deals
Anas Hassan of Cornford Avenue, received his sentence on Friday at Manchester Crown Court, after previously being found guilty of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin.
During a raid on his address in May last year three phones were seized and attributed to him. Each were suspected of being used to sell drugs to people within the community as part of a specific line, with each of them receiving multiple calls and texts from various numbers following their seizure.
Police soon determined that Hassan had been involved in supplying dangerous Class A drugs to people within the Manchester area.
Following the arrest, Hassan was later interviewed and replied no comment to all questions in relation to the drugs supply. He was charged with the offences following extensive work.
The investigation was led by PC Khan and PC Ditta, who assisted in ensuring a charge was secured following the action.
Inspector Zac Campbell, from GMP’s Gorton & Levenshulme Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “This is a significant result for the local area and ensures that someone who was involved in the distribution of dangerous drugs to vulnerable people in the community is now off the streets.
“Local officers PCs Khan and Ditta have been instrumental in getting the case this far and putting a criminal behind bars.
