An investigation started in May 2025
Three men, who were members of an organised crime group responsible for distributing drugs across Grimsby, have now been sentenced.
Cameron Geraghty, 29, of Weelsby Street, Grimsby, was found guilty of being concerned in the supplying of controlled drug, Class A Heroin, Crack Cocaine and facilitate the acquisition, acquiring or possessing of criminal property. He has been sentenced to four years and eight months in prison.
Callem Pearce, 34, of Guildford Street, Grimsby, was found guilty of being concerned in supplying a class A controlled drug Heroin, Crack Cocaine and possession of a class B drug Amphetamine. He has been sentenced to 31 months in prison.
Ryley Mair, 22, of Petchell Way, Grimsby, was found guilty of possession with intent to supply a Class A Drug, Crack Cocaine. He has been sentenced to 22 months imprisonment suspended for 2 years.
An investigation started in May 2025, after analysts were able to identify a mobile number linked to the supply of drugs across Grimsby through multiple bulk messages being distributed over a short period of time. Moe than 16,000 bulk messages were found to have been sent between May and September 2025.
Through further enquiries, detectives were able to connect these messages to Cameron Geraghty who was identified as topping up the mobile phone.
While an investigation was ongoing into Geraghty, plain-clothed officers spotted a suspected drug deal on Pasture Street in Grimsby between two men. The man believed to be dealing the drugs was identified as Ryley Mair and he was subsequently searched. A large quantity of class A drugs was located, and he was arrested on suspicion of intent to supply class A drugs.
While Mair was in custody, his devices were seized and analysed which uncovered multiple social media channels which showed communications between him and Geraghty around the supply of class A drugs.
Detective Inspector Tom Kelly said: “Once my team had worked hard to build a case of evidence against Geragthy which proved he was a key member of an organised crime group that supplied drugs across Grimsby, we then executed a warrant at his home address on Weelsby Street on Wednesday, 8 October 2025.
“Upon entering the address, we located Geraghty and also Callem Pearce, both were arrested, and the property was searched.
“Following a full search of the property, we located and seized approximately £5000 in cash, a large quantity of cocaine and heroin, mobile phones linked to the supply of drugs, criminal property and weapons including a knife and axe.
“Whilst in our custody, we also located a further quantity of class A drugs concealed on Pearce when he was searched.
“Thanks to the complex work of our specialist teams and the strength of the evidence gathered, all three men have now been sentenced for their crimes.
“Investigating and tackling organised crime remains a priority for our force. We are committed to dismantling drugs networks, protecting those at risk of exploitation.
“I’d also like to thank the public for continuing to report suspicious activity. Every piece of information we receive helps us build a clearer picture and take meaningful steps to disrupt organised crime.”
