DCI Andy O’Connor said: “The sentencing today reinforces our commitment to tackling those involved in the supply and distribution of Class A drugs on our streets.
“We will continue to pro-actively target dealers who think nothing of flooding the streets with drugs in order to line their own pockets and profit from other people’s misery.
“Drugs blight communities and are behind a host of other crimes on Merseyside including acquisitive crime and gun crime. No one wants their children or grandchildren to be targeted by dealers, who don’t give any consideration to the consequences of their actions.
“If residents do know anyone who is dealing in their community they should continue to take a stand and make the streets of Merseyside safer. Anyone with information is asked to call the Matrix team on 0800 230 0600, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.”
