A “well known” drug dealer who flooded a new town estate with heroin and crack cocaine is behind bars after police stopped him on a supply run.
Nathan Bligh, 30, of Lambourne Road, Walton, Liverpool, was arrested following a vehicle stop check en route to Runcorn. Cheshire Police said Bligh had 134 wraps of crack cocaine and 135 wraps of heroin, with a further six wraps of heroin found at his home address along with a “large quantity of cash”.
A force spokeswoman said Bligh was “well known” to detectives for his role in “county lines” drug dealing, specifically for supplying “large” amounts of Class A illicit substances in Palacefields, Runcorn. His activities drew the attentions of a targeted policing operation managed by Runcorn CID and supported by Merseyside colleagues.
