Jamie Porter, the leader of a county lines drug operation known as 'Bigzy', has been jailed for five years and six months after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin in Widnes.
Police raid and arrest
Merseyside Police dismantled the 'Bigzy' county line, removing crack cocaine and heroin from the streets. An investigation identified Porter as the controller of the operation. Police raided his home on Minto Close on July 1, 2026, seizing mobile phones and over £600 in cash.
Porter, 47, of Minto Close in Liverpool, was arrested and charged with being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin, and was remanded into custody. He appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on August 6, where he was sentenced after pleading guilty.
Police response
PC Nicholls said: “We welcome the sentence handed to Porter and hope this reiterates the message to others who look to supply drugs in Widnes, that we will identify you and send you to prison.”
“Officers at Widnes are committed to the fight against drugs and work 24/7 to ensure that individuals looking to engage in such criminality are swiftly brought to justice.”
