Two men were jailed at Manchester Crown Court on Tuesday as part of an investigation into a county line running between Manchester and Whitby.
Lee Moore, 34, of Runswick Avenue, Whitby stored and distributed drugs in Whitby. He was jailed for three years and four months after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and money laundering.
Bailey Stamp, 19, of Runswick Avenue, Whitby is a street dealer in Whitby and acted as a courier transporting drugs from Manchester back to his town. He was arrested in May 2022 after attempting to hide drugs in a bush whilst fleeing from local police. He was jailed for two years and eight months after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
Police say the effect of the influx of drugs into Whitby was devastating to the local community who saw an increase in anti-socal behaviour and associated violence.
Detective Inspector Mike Robinson from the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit's Operations Team said:
"This crime group thought they could get away with bringing drugs from Manchester into Whitby but they were wrong.
"County drug lines supplying class A and B drugs have a devastating impact on the end user and the wider community. Dealers often exploit children and vulnerable drug users to store, supply and transport drugs on thier behalf.
"We will continue to work with our partners, across the region and the wider UK to bring these drug dealers to justice."
