Grimsby man found with nearly £13k worth of crack cocaine given seven year jail term
Richard Turner pleaded guilty to supplying class A drugs
A 47 year old Grimsby man's facing seven years behind bars - after a police raid on his home uncovered crack cocaine with a street value of nearly £13,000.
Humberside Police carried out a warrant at Woodyard court in February where Richard Turner was arrested after he directed officers to a rucksack containing the drugs.
Several mobile phones and SIM card from the address were also seized.
DI Tom Kelly said, "Drug supply continues to cause significant harm in our communities, often linked to exploitation and wider criminality.
“The sentence handed to Turner reflects the seriousness of these offences and the role he played in the supply of drugs in Grimsby. This result demonstrates the work of our officers in identifying and disrupting those involved in drug-related crime.
“I’d like to thank the public for continuing to report suspicious activity. Every piece of information we receive helps us build a clearer picture and take meaningful steps to disrupt organised crime.
“We remain committed to tackling this type of offending and will continue to take action against those who bring drugs into our communities.”
