A Man From Timperley Is Among 10 Men Who Were Sentenced To More Than 40 Years In Jail

A man from Timperley was among ten men who was jailed for more than 40 years for conspiring to supply cocaine.

Brenden Robertson aged 42 from Timperley was sentenced to eight years in prison.

In March this year GMP executed warrants in Salford, Trafford, Manchester, Wigan and Lancashire as part of a crackdown on organised crime.

A total of fifteen properties were searched and in excess of £200,000 worth of class A drugs were seized along with £30,000 in cash.

Superintendent Mark Kenny, from GMP’s Salford borough said: “The sentences handed down today are proof of the continues work GMP does to dismantle organised crime groups.

“I would like to thank all the officers involved in this operation who have put endless hours into this investigation over a long-running period.

“Drugs blight our communities and we will never tolerate it and we will always aim to take those involved in crime off the streets and put them in jail where they belong.

“To do this we need the public’s help and we need people to come forward with information, there is no overnight solution, but today shows we listened to resident’s concerns and we will do everything we can to bring those responsible to justice.

“Our work today doesn’t stop here and we will continue to disrupt and destroy organised crime in Salford with the help of the local authority and other partners as part of Operation Gulf.

“The sentence should serve as a harsh warning to those considering a life of crime.”
