A cannabis street dealer sourced drugs from a supplier in Skelmersdale which he then sold on from a car park in Burscough.
John Lloyd, 27, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court for sentencing after pleading guilty to drugs and money laundering charges. He was cleared of a charge of possessing cocaine with intent to supply after a jury trial.
The court heard that the offences had arisen out of Lloyd finding himself in a "black hole" in 2020 following the death of his grandad. Lloyd, of Breeze Hill, Walton, began dealing in cannabis, from which he made £1,500 a month and used the proceeds to buy cocaine for his own personal use.
