David Waller, 36 and Dylan Black, 28, both from Billingham have today (2nd October) been sentenced to 27 months each in prison at Teesside Crown Court.
Waller and Black were stopped in a vehicle on Yarm Road in Stockton on an evening in March 2021 and searched by Stockton Neighbourhood Officers.
Cocaine worth nearly £2,000 and £500 was seized from them. Both males were arrested and later charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
PC Chris Dawkins from the Stockton Neighbourhood Team said: “We are happy with the sentences given by the court today and hope this provides a clear message to anyone choosing to engage in drugs activity that it will not be tolerated, and you will be pursued, caught and put before the courts to be brought to justice”.
