A man who disguised himself as a delivery driver while he dealt drugs in Warrington has been jailed.
Jordan Highcock appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday 25 April where he was sentenced to a total of two years and four months.
The 26-year-old of Bracknell Avenue, Kirkby, had previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
The case against Highcock began following reports to police that an unknown man had been spotted suspected of dealing drugs whilst riding an electronic bike and dressed as a delivery driver for a popular online food delivery service.
On Thursday 13 February, officers on patrol stopped Highcock who was matching this description on Winwick Road. He had been travelling on his e-bike and was wearing an orange ‘Just Eat’ jacket and bag.
Upon arrest, Highcock told officers he had drugs on his person and a knife in his bag. Following a search, a quantity of heroin and crack cocaine were found wrapped in a bag in his pocket.
Highcock was subsequently charged with the offences.
A Cheshire Police spokesperson said: “Highcock is facing a considerable custodial sentence for his role in bringing illegal drugs to the streets of Warrington.
“He tried to divert attention by disguising himself as a delivery driver, but he was no match for our eagle-eyed officers.
“The dangers of drugs are well-known and our fight against these illegal substances is never over. We will continue to crack down on those who bring drugs into our communities and hold those responsible to account.”
