Two Stoke Men Jailed Over Staffordshire Class A Drug Ring
Two Staffordshire drug dealers have been locked up after a police blitz smashed their operation. Joshua Johnson and Owen Hargreaves, both 22 from Stoke-on-Trent, were caught in a June swoop.
£11,000 Cash and Drug Phone Seized in Police Raid
Cops raided their homes following tips about local drug dealing. At Johnson’s place, officers seized over £11,000 in cash and a “drug-line” phone. The device was used to blast mass messages selling drugs across Staffordshire.
Caught Red-Handed Tossing Drugs Out the Window
Hargreaves was caught in the act, throwing a drug-filled sock out of a window during the raid. The evidence stacked up quickly against the pair.
Sentences Delivered
- Joshua Johnson pled guilty to supplying crack cocaine and was sentenced to three years and nine months behind bars.
- Owen Hargreaves admitted possession with intent to supply cocaine and possession of heroin. He received a two-year suspended sentence.
