He was sentenced to 45 months in prison.

Brooks, 24, of Lancaster Gate, Fleetwood pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, possession with intent to supply Class B drugs and acquisition, use and/ possession of criminal property. He was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Sgt Andy Ward, of the Wyre Task Force, said: “Drug supply in our communities will never be tlerated.

“Drug dealing brings serious harm to our communities, and our officers work tirelessly to identify and disrupt those who think they can profit from illegal drugs, and this result shows that we will not hesitate to take robust action. I hope this sentence reassures residents that we are committed to keeping our neighbourhoods safe and holding offenders to account.

“I would encourage anyone with information or concerns regarding drug supply in their area to report this to us.’’
