A man has been jailed for drugs supply offences in Poynton.

Joshua Harrison, 34, was sentenced to three years, having previously pleaded guilty to involvement in the supply of class A and B drugs.

Meanwhile, Chantelle Jackson, 37, was sentenced to two years, suspended for two years. She also pleaded guilty to the same offence.

A warrant was executed at the pair's address on 25 January 2023, following months of intelligence suggesting they were involved in dealing cocaine and cannabis from the address.

As Cheshire constabulary states: "During the warrant, 14 electronic devices were recovered, alongside scales with remnants of white powder, cannabis, steroids, and snapbags.

"Harrison was subsequently arrested while Jackson was invited for a voluntary interview at a later date.

"The mobile phones which were seized showed evidence of the pair being in regular conversation about selling drugs. There was also further communication from Jackson to other individuals about drugs for sale."

PC Jarrad Sainsbury said: "The warrant executed in January 2023 was the result of intelligence gathered into Harrison and Jackson's criminal behaviour.

"I hope this shows just how serious we take crimes of this nature. Illegal drugs can have a devastating impact on communities and Harrison and Jackson's activities were contributing to this.

"But thanks to officers' efforts in obtaining evidence against them, both individuals were left with no option but to plead guilty and are now facing time behind bars."
