Three men jailed over Class A supply line in Barnsley
A court heard the group ran the so-called Shane Line.
Three men have been jailed for more than 10 years between them for supplying class A drugs in Barnsley.
Josh Young, Dean Arnold, and Jack Thomas were all handed prison sentences last week after South Yorkshire Police's covert policing caught them in the act of supplying heroin and cocaine, between May and July 2025 for the so-called 'Shane Line'.
Young and Arnold were also spotted by two uniformed officers being involved in a suspected drug deal. Both men were arrested and three mobile phones were recovered, alongside a quantity of cocaine and heroin.
Upon analysis, one of the mobile phones recovered was found to contain the SIM card for the 'Shane Line'.
All three men appeared before Sheffield Crown Court on Friday 6 November where they were handed a combined sentence of 10 years and four months.
Josh Young, 29 of Herries Road, Sheffield, was charged with five counts of supplying Class A drugs, two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and two counts of acquire/use/possess criminal property. He was handed a four year and four months prison sentence.
Dean Arnold, 57, of Sheffield Road, Birdwell, Barnsley, was charged with three counts of supplying Class A drugs, two counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and one count of acquire/use/possess criminal property. He was sentenced to three years and four months behind bars.
Jack Thomas, 27, of Adkins Drive, Sheffield, was charged with one count of supplying Class A drugs. He was handed a two years and eight months sentence.
