A Warrington man who admitted dealing cannabis and cannabis edibles with his partner has been jailed.
Dawn Wilkinson, 36, and Liam Wimbleton, 39, from Waywell Close, Warrington, appeared at Chester Crown Court on 1 May to be sentenced.
Both pleaded guilty at a previous hearing to possession of cannabis with intent to supply, possession of cannabis edibles with intent to supply, possession of psilocin and possession of LSD.
Wilkinson was sentenced to 20 months in prison suspended for 12 months and Wimbleton was sentenced to 32 months in prison.
On 22 November 2022, acting on intelligence, a warrant was executed at Wilkinson’s address in Waywell Close. Officers seized a number of items relating to drug dealing including tubs of cannabis and cannabis gummies, gummy maker equipment and ingredients to make the gummies, and dried mushroom.
They also seized £525 in cash and two mobile phones. Messages advertising drugs were found on Wimbleton’s phone and messages between the pair discussing the drugs were found on both.
Sgt Kerry Barber said: “We have taken another two dealers and their drugs off the streets and will continue to do so. I hope this reassures people that we do act on information and with your help we can pursue those who bring our communities down with their illegal activity.”
