A drug dealer involved in the supply of thousands of pounds worth of class A drugs in Grimsby and the surrounding areas has been sentenced to five years and five months in jail.
Lewis Hall, 24-years-old, of Grimsby Road in Cleethorpes, appeared at Grimsby Crown Court for sentencing after he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of MDMA, cocaine, ketamine, heroin and amphetamine, five counts of breaching a Slavery Trafficking Risk Order, two counts of possession of a class B drug and possession of a class C drug.
Hall was released from prison in January this year with a five-year Slavery and Trafficking Risk Order (STRO). Within three days of release, an investigation was launched after officers discovered a new drugs line related to the supply of class A drugs across North East Lincolnshire.
Investigating officers discovered bulk outgoing text messages sent between January and March this year connected to the same organised crime group. Hall was identified as a key member when officers conducted CCTV enquiries revealing him being connected to the drugs line and subsequently sending bulk text messages.
In breach of his STRO, Hall failed to comply with the requirements imposed on him around notification of mobile phone conditions.
In March, officers from Humberside Police's Kinetic Organised Crime Group Team arrested Hall at his home address where they discovered an amount of drugs, cash, mobile phones and paperwork and he was later charged and remanded into custody.
On Wednesday, 26 June, he pleaded guilty to all thirteen offences at Grimsby Crown Court.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Tom Kelly from Humberside Police's Kinetic Organised Crime Group Team said:
“By stopping Hall’s activities we have prevented significant amounts of drugs from being sold on the streets in our force area.
“Despite being under strict court orders, Hall wasted no-time in re-establishing a criminal network with a total disregard for the lives of those who were purchasing drugs from him, evident in the steps he took to conceal his activities and manipulate those around him. The sentencing handed down for failing to comply with that order shows how serious this will be dealt with by the courts and will not be tolerated.
“This comprehensive investigation saw officers trawling through a vast amount of phone data, along with forensic and operational searches in order to put forward a strong prosecution case. The impact of drugs causes a significant harm in our communities, and we must remain focussed on targeting those would are a cause of this harm.
"Working with our partners and the community enables us to disrupt drug networks and bring offenders to justice. This case serves as a clear reminder that those involved in drug supply will be identified and prosecuted.
“Investigating and tackling organised crime remains a priority for our force and we are committed to dismantling drugs networks, protecting those at risk of exploitation, and ensuring offenders like Hall are held fully accountable.”
