A heroin, crack cocaine and cannabis dealer has been jailed after police found an estimate £11,000 worth of drugs during a search warrant in Stoke-on-Trent.

Christopher Rhodes, 41, was handcuffed by officers after they went inside an address on Victoria Place, Fenton, in June last year.

Rhodes was inside and had deals of crack cocaine and heroin on him, as well as £665 in cash.

Lots of drug paraphernalia and mobile phones were found inside the address, with the estimated street value of the drugs seized believed to be around £11,000.

Christopher Rhodes was sentenced to three years behind bars (Staffordshire Police).

Rhodes was taken to custody, questioned, and charged with the offences.

At Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Thursday (4 July), he was sentenced to three years behind bars after previously admitting possession with intent to supply crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis.

PC Lovatt, from the local policing tasking team, said: "This was a significant seizure of illegal drugs that was made possible through some effective local policing and intelligence gathering.
