A drug dealer who bombarded vulnerable addicts with thousands of text messages over three months has been jailed. Greater Manchester Police said Christopher Clarke controlled a 'graft' mobile phone and used it to send out almost 7,000 messages over the period advertising the sale of cocaine.
Examples included 'trigazon prime deliveries on time' and 'on til late, get on me', detectives revealed as Clarke begins a prison sentence.
So-called 'graft' phones are typically the main point of contact between dealers and users, with multiple 'flare' text messages sent out to advertise the types of drugs available and often, what deals would cost.
