A wrap of crack cocaine, a selection of weapons, and debtors lists were recovered from his home. Morgan, of The Knoll, Runcorn, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine between March and May 2022, and was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
After the hearing, PC Stuart Beswick, of Cheshire Police, said: “Morgan was a key part of a county lines drug dealing operation bringing crack cocaine and heroin to the streets of Runcorn. He openly carried out his business on The Glen, Runcorn, with no regard for the effects drug dealing has on the local community.
“I am grateful that Morgan is now serving a custodial sentence for his actions. Runcorn has a team of dedicated proactive police officers and will continue to target drug dealers who bring misery to the community.
“If anyone has information in relation to drug dealing, Cheshire Police can be contacted via 101, online at cheshire.police.uk/tell-us or anonymously via Crimestoppers."
