TWO men have been jailed for supplying crack cocaine and heroin to Warrington following a joint drugs investigation by Cheshire and Merseyside Police.
Charlie Burns and Dennis Crockett appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday, 5 June, where they were sentenced to a combined total of 6 years and 9 months behind bars.
The pair had earlier pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of drugs, heroin and crack cocaine.
Burns, 21, of Wavertree Avenue, Atherton, was jailed for three years, and Crockett, 28, of Park View Road, Liverpool, was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison.
The court heard how in May, 2025 officers from Merseyside Police discovered mobile phone evidence which linked the pair to the sale of illegal drugs.
Evidence suggested that Burns and Crockett were managing a county lines drugs gang in the Warrington area.
The men were later arrested by officers from Cheshire Police, where they were found in possession of a large quantity of class A drugs and over £1900 in cash.
Officers also recovered the mobile phone used to advertise the sale of illegal drugs on behalf of a county line during the arrests.
Following the sentencing, Detective Sergeant Christian Gordon, from Cheshire Police, said: “This is a great example of partnership work, which has resulted in the removal of a large quantity of illegal drugs and cash from the streets of Warrington.
“The corrosive effect of illegal drugs on communities cannot be understated. Behind every single drug deal there is vulnerability and misery, and we are fully committed to tackling the problem and targeting those involved.
“If you have any information about illegal drug activity or any other criminal activity taking place, please report it to us on 101, or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, and we will take care of the rest.”
