A 21-year-old man, Elliot Bucknall, has been sentenced to 76 months (over six years) in prison for drug dealing offenses. The sentence was handed down at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday. Bucknall was found guilty of possession with intent to supply heroin, cocaine, and crack cocaine.

This bag contained over £40,000 worth of cocaine and approximately £3,000 of heroin, along with £4,885 in cash. Bucknall initially fled the scene but was later apprehended.
In addition to the drug charges, Bucknall pleaded guilty to separate driving offenses, including dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance. He received a 13-month driving disqualification for these offenses.
