Da Silva, of Lindale Avenue, Manchester, was quickly identified as the controller of the county line and responsible for sending daily ‘flare’ messages to sell his supply. Williams, of Stringer Crescent, Warrington, acted as a street dealer and also allowed Da Silva to orchestrate his drug operation from her home.
A warrant was conducted at Williams’ home address on July 6, resulting in the arrest of Da Silva and Williams on suspicion of drug offences.
During the warrant, officers recovered a graft phone, believed to be the one used by the team, with messages evidencing the sale of illegal drugs. A list of drug dealers and drug paraphernalia, such as scales, was also recovered from the home.
Upon arrest, Da Silva was found in possession of a large quantity of cash. The pair were subsequently charged with two counts of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs (crack cocaine, heroin). Da Silva was also charged with possession of criminal property.
At Chester Crown Court last Tuesday (January 2), Da Silva was sentenced to three years and four months in prison. Williams was sentenced to two years and seven months in prison.
