A young drug dealer who "got in the wrong crowd" has been ordered to pay £16,000.
Jack Thornhill, from Southport, is currently serving 28 months in prison and was ordered by a judge at a Proceeds of Crime hearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday to pay back the cash within three months. The 21-year-old found himself mixed in up crime after getting in “with the wrong crowd”
Recorder Ian Unsworth, QC, said if he does not do so 21-year-old Thornhill will have to serve an extra eight months consecutively to the sentence imposed in December. In an out of court settlement at Liverpool Crown Court it had been agreed that Thornhill, of Griffiths Drive, Southport, had benefited by £17,515 and has realisable assets of £16,000.
