Jail for county lines drug dealers in Warrington

Two men have been jailed for dealing drugs in Warrington.

Cian Pickett (19) of Dale Lane, Appleton, and Isaac Darcy (20) of Six Acre Gardens, Moore, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday, after previously pleading guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

Darcy (pictured left) received four years and three months and Pickett (pictured right) received a four year sentence.

The court heard how at around 9.50am on February 9, plain-clothed officers on patrol spotted Pickett who was believed to be dealing drugs in an alleyway near to Whitecross Road, Warrington.

He was spotted again soon after entering an address on Broadhurst Avenue.

When he left that house, Pickett was quickly detained by officers and a search revealed him to be in possession of one wrap of crack cocaine, two wraps on heroin, and cash.

Officers then entered the address to conduct a search when Darcy was seen fleeing from the rear of the property – he was immediately arrested.

Following a search of the property, officers recovered a quantity of crack cocaine, heroin, a Nokia graft phone, and other drug paraphernalia.

Messages discovered on the phone showed that Pickett and Darcy had been actively dealing drugs at county lines level in the Warrington area.

During questioning, both men refused to answer any questions. Despite their silence, they were subsequently charged with possession with intent to supply class A drugs and being concerned in the supply of class A drugs (heroin and crack cocaine).

Detective sergeant Alexander Reeves said: “Warrington Proactive CID and our colleagues actively target county lines drug suppliers and as a result of this specific operation two county lines dealers are behind bars.

“This is a good result and I hope it acts as a warning to others planning to deal drugs in Warrington that we will always take robust action.

“Illegal drugs can have a devastating impact, not only to drug users, but also the community around them.

“Here in Warrington, we are doing all we can to stop drug activity on our streets to make the town a safer place to live and visit, while also making it extremely difficult for these offenders to operate.

“We will always act on any information about drug activity provided to us and would urge anyone who believes this activity is happening near to them to get in touch.”
