A crack cocaine dealer who sold drugs to local communities in Stoke-on-Trent has been jailed.

Nicki Pollett, 31, of Chell Heath, Stoke-on-Trent, was sentenced to four-years-and-six-months in prison at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Monday 22 December after he admitted possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and concerned in the supply of class A drugs.

Staffordshire Police carried out a warrant at Pollett's home in May this year.

A representative of Staffordshire Police said: "On this occasion, no drugs were seized but other items were found which allowed us to secure further evidence against him."

Officers went to Pollett's address again in October, where around £200-worth of crack cocaine, cash, and mobile phones were discovered.

Pollett was charged and brought before the courts, where he pleaded guilty to all of the offences at an earlier hearing.
