A drug dealer who sourced high purity cocaine for an organised crime group has been jailed for 10 years.
Christopher Windmill, 47, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court on Friday, February 17, where he was sentenced for supplying Liam Pow and his drugs-ring with Class A substances. Pow and eight others were jailed for a combined total of almost 50 years for conspiracy to supply, at the same court in December 2022 and January 2023.
During the course of the investigation officers uncovered encrypted messages sent between Windmill and Pow, during March and May 2020 - when the UK was in lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
