A man has been jailed after he was caught by police with cocaine, heroin and cash in a "county lines" drug network.
Thomas Cleary, 28, from Leeds, became involved in the country-wide conspiracy after struggling with a longstanding drug problem. At the heart of the conspiracy was Kyle Nelson who had a network of dealers including Cleary.
Teesside Crown Court heard how Cleary was seen on several occasions acting suspiciously in Darlington, before he was caught red handed with wraps of Class A drugs near South Park in the north east town, reports TeessideLive.
