Man must sell his home and pay back £135k after importing drugs from USA

A drug dealer must sell his own home and pay back £135k after being part of a gang which imported cannabis from the USA.

Robert Parsonage, 42, of Rostherne Avenue in Ellesmere Port, was found guilty for offences of money laundering linked to the importation of cannabis. An investigation by Cheshire Police found he had large amounts of money in his bank accounts and that he owned his own property having bought it for a cash sum of £29,000 in 2016.

An application was made to the court and his assets were seized ahead of the criminal trial. The court found Parsonage gained a total of £211,281.99 from his six years of criminal conduct.
