A man from Newchapel has been jailed after admitting dealing heroin in Congleton.

41-year-old David Scott was sentenced to six-years-and-one-month after pleading guilty to supplying a Class A drug.

During searches at his home in July, officers found £7206.23 in cash, drug paraphernalia, mobiles phones and heroin with a street value of £810.

DI Graeme Carvell said: “This is one of many drug dealers stopped in their tracks by the Op Apollo team who have been working tirelessly to dismantle county lines and put a stop to the drug dealers operating them.

“Op Apollo will continue to target those who believe they can establish illegal drug supply lines here in our county and go undetected.

“If you believe a county line is operating in your community, please get in touch with us here at Cheshire Police and we will take action.”
