"Drugs and the criminality associated with them destroys lives," said Detective Sergeant Adam Haines, investigating.

"Dealers will often target young and vulnerable people, often leading to devastating consequences.

"We will never stop pursuing those who we suspect to be involved in drug criminality and I am pleased with the sentence that has been handed down in this case.

"If you have any information which may assist in bringing criminals to justice, please do not hesitate to report it.
