A COUNTY lines drug dealer who lives in Crewe has been jailed for 16 months.
Jade Grannell was sentenced seven months after a closure order was granted on her former home at Binney Road in Northwich, which was plagued with anti-social behaviour and was the scene of drugs-related offences.
Grannell, now of Old Orchard Place, Crewe was arrested by officers on November 25 last year after she was stopped by officers on Royle Street in Northwich and found in possession of class A drugs.
A search was conducted on the Binney Road property where officers discovered further class A drugs.
During questioning Grannell admitted to police she had been dealing on behalf of a county lines gang from Liverpool.
The 32-year-old was jailed at Chester Crown Court on September 13 after previously admitting two counts of possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine.
Sgt. Dave Christmas, of Cheshire Police, said: "I hope that it [the sentence] provides reassurance to the residents who were impacted by her behaviour.
"This case was part of our ongoing crackdown on county lines drug dealing."
Chief Inspector Gary Smith, of Northwich Local Policing Unit, said: "Illegal drugs have a hugely detrimental impact and we are committed to doing all we can to remove those involved in the supply of such drugs from our communities.
"Information from the public is vital in this this fight and I urge anyone with any information about suspected drug-related activity in their community to get in touch."
Report suspected drug dealing to Cheshire Police by calling 101 or via.
