A man has been jailed after we spotted him doing deals of heroin and crack in Stoke-on-Trent.
Kieron Stanfield, 30, of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, was seen giving a package to someone in an alleyway on 13 February. Officers moved in and searched him at the scene, finding £75 in cash and multiple wraps of drugs.
We then searched his house and found around £2,500-worth of heroin and crack cocaine, £295 in cash and digital scales.
Stanfield was charged with the offences and taken to court. He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine, heroin and crack cocaine. He was sentenced to five-years-and-seven-months behind bars at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Monday (17 March).
We’ve taken another class A drug dealer off our streets thanks to intelligence from members of the public who were concerned about drug dealing in their area.
