A DRUG dealer has been put behind bars for his role in supplying cocaine and heroin in Tameside.
Damon Oldham, 22, pleaded guilty to possessing and supplying the drugs at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court.
He was subsequently sentenced to 27 months in prison.
Oldham’s involvement in the supply of Class A drugs in the Tameside area was uncovered during a county line investigation.
It was carried out by Detective Constable Laura Hughes from GMP Tameside’s Child Criminal Exploitation Team, who said: “This was a lengthy investigation which has quite rightly resulted in Oldham going to prison.
“Drugs have no place in the community and officers from Greater Manchester Police will continue to remove these drugs from society and bring those committing offences before the courts.”
Police are also encouraging anyone who has any information about drug supply in Tameside to report it by calling 101 (999 in an emergency), using the Live Chat facility at gmp.police.uk or through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
