Man jailed following investigation into 'Mo' drugs line
Dean Michael Wright was supplying Class A drugs across Newcastle-under-Lyme
Following an investigation into the 'Mo' drugs line supplying Class A drugs across Newcastle-under-Lyme, a man has been jailed.
Dean Michael Wright, 30, of no fixed address, was sentenced to six years behind bars at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Thursday (4 December).
He admitted to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroine.
In March, officers stopped a black BMW. They seized the ‘Mo line’ phone and analysis identified Wright as the primary holder between February and April.
On Friday 4 July, officers executed a warrant at a home off London Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and seized wraps of cocaine, cannabis and more mobile phones.
Wright was arrested for drug offences and later pleaded guilty in court despite initially denying the charges.
Sgt Tyler Lowe, of the Newcastle-under-Lyme local policing team, said:
“We worked hard to gather evidence against Wright, and I am delighted that he has been convicted for his offending.
“We’re working hard to bring a stop to drug networks that are profiting from addiction and vulnerability in local communities.
“It is vital that anyone who witnesses drug dealing reports it to us so we can act robustly against those involved.”
