CUMBRIA DRUG DEALER GIVEN THREE YEARS
A DRUG dealer from Runcorn has been sent down for trafficking heroin and cocaine to a Cumbrian town
Kyle Graham, 21, of Redruth Close, Brookvale, was caught with more than £2,000 in cash plus three bags of cocaine equating to 282 wraps when police found him at a residential property in Barrow on the night of December 1.
A Cumbria Police spokesman said officers visited the address after a police community support officer (PCSO) spotted 54-year-old Barrow woman Helen Ungor, of Steamer Street, acting suspiciously outside on Schooner Street in the town.
The PCSO told colleagues who attended and found Ungor with two wraps of cocaine.
They then headed to Ungor’s home, where they found Graham, who told them he had a substantial amount of cash on him.
Graham was arrested and found to be in possession of the bags of cocaine, estimated to have a street value of around £1,500 to £3,000.
Mobile phones were recovered which showed both were involved in a county lines drugs operation conveying Class A drugs into Barrow.
The Cumbria Police spokesman said that during his interview with officers, Graham said he became involved in drug dealing to pay off a drugs debt in Merseyside.
Ungor refused to answer questions.
Graham later admitted being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs and was sentenced to three years in prison at Preston Crown Court last Wednesday, July 1.
Ungor admitted allowing premises to be used for drug supply and was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for 18 months.
A spokesman for Cumbria Police’s South Area Drugs Unit said: “Graham and Ungor are the latest to learn that coming to South Cumbria to sell drugs has consequences.
“The dealing and use of Class A drugs has a destructive impact on a community.
“Our officers want to hear from anyone with information about drug dealing or drug use in Barrow or elsewhere in Cumbria. You can contact Cumbria Police direct or Crimestoppers anonymously.”
