A MAN has been jailed after being caught with almost 30kg of drugs worth around £3million.
Stephen Lockley, 39 and from Liverpool, admitted possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine.
He was jailed for six years at Stafford Crown Court.
It comes after officers stopped a white van at Norton Canes Services on the M6 Toll on 23rd July last year.
They found 24kg of heroin – with an estimated street value of £2.4million – and 5kg of cocaine, believed to worth £500,000.
Detective Inspector David Simpson said:
“Lockley was involved in a significant level of drug supply in our communities and we welcome this sentence.
“Illegal drugs have no place in our society and we will continue to combat organised criminal gangs that cause harm and misery in communities through their supply.
“This outcome should serve as a message to those involved in drug dealing. They will be tracked down, arrested, charged and sent to prison.”
