Man jailed for dealing Class A drugs in Peterborough

A Peterborough drug dealer has been jailed after being convicted of dealing class A drugs twice.

22 year old Ryan McBride was jailed for two years and four months.

He had previously received a suspended sentence and McBride continued to involve himself in the dealing of class A drugs.

PC Charlie Adams, from the Neighbourhood Support Team, said: “Despite no drugs being found on McBride or in his home, through working with our colleagues in our intelligence department and analysing his mobile phone, we were able to evidence he played a part in running a county line and used the phone to send out bulk messages offering the supply of class A and B drugs.

“County lines are often linked with serious violence and exploitation of vulnerable members of our communities, including children. We are working hard to disrupt these groups and information from the public can greatly help that.”
