Creamfields drug dealers jailed for total of 31 years

FOURTEEN people have been jailed for a total of more than 31 years combined for drug dealing at the Creamfields music festival near Warrington.
The event, in August last year saw tens of thousands of people visit the festival at Daresbury.
Cheshire Police carried out a dedicated policing operation to maximise the safety of those attending and take swift action against those breaking the law.
The operation led to the arrest of 153 people over the duration of the weekend – 131 of those were for drug related offences.
Detective Sergeant Nicola Evans said: “Before the festival we worked really hard in trying to ensure that attendees were fully aware of the consequences they would face if they brought illegal drugs onto the site.
“They were also given every opportunity to get rid of the drugs in surrender bins before going through the search process. We were encouraged that the bins were more full than they had been previously – showing that the majority of people are listening to what we are telling them.
“The people sentenced are those who ignored that message, and they are now paying for that.”
More offenders are due to be sentenced in the coming weeks.
