Machete-Wielding Dealer Ran 'One-Stop Cocaine Shop'
2 Dec
Summary
- Dealer operated a drug network between Leeds and Scarborough.
- Police found cocaine, weapons including a machete and sword.
- He was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison.
A significant drug operation spanning Leeds and Scarborough has been dismantled, leading to the sentencing of its operator. Frankie Lee Morrison, 20, has been jailed for two years and eight months after admitting to charges including possession of cocaine with intent to supply.
Morrison established a county line, advertising his "one-stop cocaine shop" through text messages. His activities came to light when North Yorkshire Police investigated a new county line supplying drugs between West Yorkshire and Scarborough. Intelligence analysts used phone and travel data to confirm Morrison's central role in the drug network.
During a raid on a Leeds address associated with Morrison, officers seized cocaine, drug dealing equipment, and dangerous weapons, notably a machete and a sword. Authorities highlighted the misery caused by such dealers, who exploit vulnerable individuals and contribute to further crime.
