A scrambler yob found with more than 2.5kgs of MDMA told police he was just holding it for his drug dealer.
Ryan Blake, from Garston, was caught with around £100,000 worth of ecstasy when police raided his home in 2019. Yet in a bizarre attempt to diminish his guilt, the 26 year old told officers his own dealer, known simply as ‘Gary’, had asked him to hold the colossal amount of ecstasy - then never asked for it back.
Yesterday, a judge told Blake, who has been jailed before for a cowardly scrambler bike attack on police, that his excuse was unbelievable as he jailed him at Liverpool Crown Court. Kyra Badman, prosecuting, told the court police raided Blake’s home on November 11, 2019, and found 2.62kg of ecstasy. The drugs, at 32% purity, were judged to have a street value of between £78,000 and £130,000.
