A street dealer was aged 17 when he was stopped by police with two phones, scales contaminated with Class A drugs, £100 and an assortment of different coloured Rizla papers. Despite the offences dating back to 2019, it has take more than two years for his case to come to court.
Tyreece Moran, now 19, pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of diamorphine and crack cocaine. Police stopped him in Clifton on September 9, 2019. One of the phones chased up debts for Class A drugs and the second was a "drugs line" used for supplying drugs.
Nottingham Crown Court heard the phones were not his and he had been asked by another to supply for about two months to reduce a debt he owed. Jon Fountain, prosecuting on Tuesday, March 22, described Moran's role as "significant role in street dealing". Delays were down to the analysis of the mobile phone evidence.
