A man from Bradford who was given a suspended sentence for hiding drugs in a baby's car seat has been jailed after being caught with drugs again.

27 year old Stephen Jackson, of Kenton Way in Holme Wood, was arrested last year and found to have stashed £20,000 worth of cocaine at his home.

He was spared jail after admitting possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.

Earlier this week he was jailed for four years nine months after he admitted another offence of possession with intent to supply, following a second raid on May 21.

Sergeant Charlie Smallwood of West Yorkshire Police said: “Jackson is a blight on the community of Holme Wood selling Class A drugs."

“He continued to sell drugs despite being given a suspended sentence.

“We welcome that he will now spend years in jail. Drugs cause misery in communities and we are committed to getting them off the streets to make the streets safer.

“This action is part of ongoing work by Bradford South NPT with partners as part of Operation Sweetgill to tackle criminality in the area.”
