Drug man jailed for five years

A FITTON HILL man has been jailed for five years for possessing drugs for supply.

David Lawrence, (46), of Thatcher Street, pleaded guilty at Manchester Crown Court to four counts of heroin and crack cocaine possession with intent to supply. He also pleaded guilty to the possession of ammunition.

Officers from Oldham’s Organised Crime Unit raided his house last October and found heroin and crack cocaine worth £800, and the ammunition. Police recovered more drugs after executing another search warrant in January.
