A man from Wirral has been jailed after he was found to have sourced, purchased and sold large amounts of Class A drugs to prominent local drug dealers.
Dean Anderson, 46, of Tudorville Road, Bebington was sentenced to 14 years and four months at Cheshire Crown Court earlier this month after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply heroin, cocaine and cannabis. Anderson was described in court as being at the "top of the tree" of the drug trade, supplying large amounts of class A and B drugs to other criminals.
On Friday, September 2, the court heard how Anderson used Encrochat and had sourced, purchased and sold roughly 30kg of cannabis, 20kg of heroin and 20kg of high quality cocaine between April 3 and June 2 2020. Anderson ran his large-scale business through the Encrochat codenames "tendayer" and "famoussquid," and sold large quantities of drugs locally, and throughout the UK, as far as Scotland.
