Winsford man pleads guilty to dealing cocaine in Northwich

A 34-year-old man from Winsford has pleaded guilty to dealing cocaine in Northwich.

Kenneth Dyson, of Wheelock Drive, Winsford appeared at Chester Magistrates Court on Thursday 21 December and pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of class A drugs between 26 October 2023 and 20 December 2023.

His illegal activities came to an end following an investigation by officers from Northwich Proactive Team.

He came to their attention in November 2023 when a phone was linked to him which was advertising cocaine for sale.

Phone analysis and CCTV enquiries led officers to Dyson’s door and he was arrested on 20 December and later charged.

Dyson has been remanded in custody to appear at Chester Crown Court on 18 January 2024 to be sentenced.

PC Daniel Lee said:

“Northwich Local Policing Unit is dedicated to disrupting the drug supply network and this is another example of how we are continually pursuing those intent on making money out of other people’s misery.

“We recognise that drugs and drug use have a detrimental effect on our communities and we will stop at nothing to rid the streets of this illegal activity.

“You too can help us by reporting drug dealing in your area to police, every bit of information helps us to gather intelligence and close in on those dealing in illegal drugs.”
