'Irish Mikey Line' dealer supplied crack cocaine and heroin

A Liverpool drug dealer has been jailed after supplying a county line with crack cocaine and heroin.

Gerrard Edward Parkins, 25, of Dovecot was found guilty of being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin after a joint investigation by Merseyside Police and North Wales Police forces into the 'Irish Mikey Line'. The line supplied crack cocaine and heroin between Liverpool and areas of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl over the course of two months.

Parkins was found to be the man controlling the county line during the investigation and, when arrested, was found in possession of the county line phone. He was jailed for five years and seven months.
