“It is a menace in the area'
A dealer involved in supplying drugs to an undercover cop in Piccadilly Gardens has been banned from the city centre.
The following day the officer was walking close to Piccadilly Gardens when he heard the other male he had seen with Wright shout over to him whilst standing near the Crafty Pig pub on Oldham Street. “He then produced a clear plastic bag containing a large quantity of wraps, and then gave him two of those. This defendant seemed part of the negotiation between the undercover officer and the male.”
“He maintains that he is a drug user rather than a drug dealer. He was involved in the supply of drugs and assisted with deals in the hope people would share the drugs with him,” she said.She added that he had previously worked in sales but following the COVID lockdown he developed a drug habit, lost his job and became homeless.
