A pervert who believed he was chatting to a 13-year-old but was actually interacting with a vigilante group was among those jailed in Greater Manchester this week.
Two teenagers who went out on a six-week rampage of robberies and assaults have also been put behind bars. A county lines drug dealer from Manchester who supplied crack cocaine and heroin to a Cheshire town was also handed a jail term.
Jail sentences are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are in court to cover the most serious cases.
