A man made £50,000 selling cannabis-laced sweets on social media from his one bedroom flat.
Police said Jack Routledge-Wrench from Knutsford Road in Warrington put in 'incredible efforts into his business'. A 'lengthy and complex investigation' was launched by Warrington Local Policing Unit’s Proactive CID into Routledge-Wrench’s activities on Instagram in April 2020 following information that he was selling drugs and edibles online.
In total he had three Instagram accounts selling cannabis and cannabis-laced edibles such as Nerd ropes, Chewits, chocolates, vape fluid and syrups. One of the accounts was public so anyone could see his posts while two others were closed and only viewable by sending a friend request.
