Three Runcorn men have been jailed for a combined total of more than 10 years after admitting their involvement in supplying illegal drugs.
Kieron Banks, 34, of Juniper Grove, Runcorn, was jailed for five years. Karl Morgan, 38, and John Ungi, 36, each received 40 months at Chester Crown Court on Thursday, November 5.
Investigation and Arrests
The investigation began after officers raided a property on Norton Hill, Runcorn, on June 29. Ungi fled by jumping from a first-floor window but was quickly arrested, with police recovering cash, a mobile phone, scales and supplier lists.
Officers later stopped a car on the M56 near junction 11, where a member of the public reported seeing Banks throw a bag from the window. Police recovered a blue bag containing cannabis worth more than £8,000.
Police Reaction
PC Ethan Lines said: "This is a fantastic result, not only are three drug dealers now behind bars, but we've also removed a large quantity of illegal drugs from the streets of Runcorn."
