Two men have been sentenced following a drugs warrant carried out by Middlesbrough neighbourhood team officers in November 2022.
Mark Andrew Fuller and Jordan Stevenson appeared at Teesside Crown Court today, Friday 2nd February.
Mark Fuller, 30, is already serving a prison sentence for a drugs offence and was further sentenced to two years imprisonment.
Jordan Stevenson, 25, of Millbrook Ave in Middlesbrough, was also sentenced to two years imprisonment.
The court heard how officers attended an address on Kildare Street on Sunday 6th November 2022, where the two men fled from the back of the property as officers entered by the front door and back gates.
Mark Fuller was in possession of a machete, which he threw over a wall into the next yard. He was also found to have £1,195 in cash on him and a Samsung tablet.
Jordan Stevenson was found in possession of a quantity of white rocks inside separate grip seal bags worth around £1,150.
Sergeant John Sproson said: “The sentences given to Fuller and Stevenson today are welcomed, as we continue the fight against drugs and bring those to justice who think it’s acceptable to bring drugs onto the streets of Middlesbrough.
“I would urge anyone with information on drugs activity in their local area to contact Cleveland Police or Crimestoppers anonymously, so that we can take action as swiftly as possible.”
Anyone with information on drugs activity in their local area is urged to call Cleveland Police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555 111.
