Man jailed for drug dealing in Ellesmere Port

A man has been jailed for drugs offences in Ellesmere Port.

Jack Smith, of Glen Road in Great Sutton, was sentenced on Wednesday 18th March at Chester Crown Court.

The 24-year-old was jailed for two years and eight months after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine, being concerned in the offer to supply MDMA, and possession of cannabis.

Between March and June 2025, a mobile phone number was identified as sending out flare messages advertising cocaine and MDMA for sale. This number was strongly attributed to Smith by police and was in close proximity to his address. The number also sent a message on 23rd March 2025 saying, ‘Jack new num’.

On 4th June 2025, officers executed a warrant at Smith’s address and arrested him for drugs offences. When officers called the number of the dealer phone, a phone in Smith’s possession rang.

During a search of the address a small amount of cannabis was located.

He was later charged with the offences.

PC Adam Critchley said:

“Smith was caught in possession of a mobile phone which officers knew was being used to deal drugs, so he was left with no choice but to plead guilty to these offences.

“I welcome the custodial sentence handed to Smith and I hope this case shows how seriously we take drugs offences and the work which goes on to trace offenders and bring them to justice.”
