Lancashire Police update as Poulton man, 26, jailed for drugs supply after raid in Fleetwood

A 26-year-old man man has been jailed for his role in the supply of Cocaine and Cannabis.

A drug warrant at an address in Duddon Avenue in Fleetwood was carried out by police as part of Operation Warrior in February last year.

As a result, Adam Heaton, 26 of Jasper Avenue, Poulton le Fylde was arrested and later charged with drug offences.

Adam Heaton stood before Preston Crown Court on June 26 and pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of class A and B drugs, namely Cocaine and Cannabis.

He was sentenced to two years and eight months imprisonment for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and 8 months for being concerned in the supply of class B drugs, to be served concurrently.

Sgt Andy Ward of the Wyre Task Force said: “Drugs have no place in Fleetwood and we will continue to target those involved in drug supply and protect the public from the damage it brings.

“I hope this sentence sends a clear message: those who choose to profit from the misery of our communities will face real consequences.

“Thanks to the information received by residents, we are able to tackle drug dealing effectively, taking products and people involved out of our communities.

“If you have concerns about drug criminality in your area I would urge you to report this to us so we can take the appropriate action.

“Call us directly on 101 or you can report anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”

This activity was undertaken as part of Operation Warrior. Operation Warrior is Lancashire Police’s response to tackling serious and organised crime in Lancashire, supported by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw.

It aims to target the individuals and gangs involved in crime, as well as associated issues such as violence and intimidation, large scale drug supply, exploitation, and fraud, all of which can cause serious harm to local communities.
