Members of an organised crime group have been jailed for peddling crack cocaine and heroin on the streets of Beswick and Manchester city centre.
Anthony McKenna, 23, supplied 'substantial amounts' to Jamie Lee Collins, who in turn recruited Michelle McIntyre and Paul McMullen to advertise and deal the drugs, police said as all four began jail sentences.
McKenna - who has been locked up for six years - asked Collins in one exchange uncovered by police: "You runni low on that yet rkid?" Collins, 34, replied that he would 'grab' more and was 'cleaning up', Greater Manchester Police added.
