Drug dealer jailed for supply offences in Northwich

A drug dealer has been jailed for more than two years for the supply of class A, B and C drugs in Northwich.

Kirsty Watson, of Old Chapel Street in Stockport, was sentenced to 28 months after appearing at Chester Crown Court on Friday 25th April.

The 22-year-old had previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine, cannabis and nitrous oxide.

Just after 11.20pm on 27th November 2023, officers stopped a blue Ford Fiesta on Manchester Road, Northwich. The officer could smell cannabis coming from the vehicle and the driver – Watson – handed over a small amount of cannabis.

When she was asked to leave the vehicle, she resisted, telling officers they couldn’t search her vehicle. The officers asked her why she was resisting, to which she replied, ‘because I sell weed’. A large sandwich bag of cannabis was located, as well as 12 cannisters of nitrous oxide and a snapbag of cocaine.

The cannabis was worth between £830 and £970, the cocaine was valued at between £400 and £700 and the nitrous oxide at £50.

Watson’s mobile phone was also seized which showed evidence of drugs supply in the Northwich area.

Police Constable Ed Whalley said:

“Illegal drugs have a hugely detrimental impact, not just on users but also the wider public. Watson targeted Northwich, putting these substances onto the streets and causing harm to our communities.

“Now Watson has been given a custodial sentence for her involvement in supplying drugs, but our fight against illegal drugs is never over.

“Anyone with any information about drug-related activity in their community is asked to contact Cheshire Police via our website or 101.”
