A Bradford man has been handed a 20 month prison sentence after being convicted of drugs offences.

46 year old Sean Brockhill, of Birch Lane, admitted possession with intent to supply a Class B drug at Bradford Crown Court on February 13.

It comes after he was arrested during an operation targeting drug dealing in Bradford city centre last summer, which resulted in the seizure of a 'substantial amount' of both Class B and C drugs.

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Atkinson of West Yorkshire Police said:

‘Illegal drugs will not be tolerated in our communities and this operation and investigation demonstrates that we will target those who are involved in drug dealing and organised crimes.

‘I would like to thank the communities of Bradford who have shared information and intelligence with us which allows investigations such as this to take place. I would encourage anyone with information about drugs supply to contact West Yorkshire Police or Crimestoppers to support this continued disruption of those involved in the supply of drugs.

‘We hope that this sentence will serve as a warning to others that if you are involved in the supply of drugs, we will act on the information we receive to identify you, arrest you and bring you before the courts.’
