- and Martin Jacob, 26
The men, most of whom are from the Ellesmere Port area, operated
a complex and seemingly lucrative network of drug dealing across
the Cheshire area. Today, the sentencing of Lee Walters and Martin
Jacob brought about the successful conclusion of an in-depth and
tireless investigation by Cheshire Police.
Leading the operation, Detective Inspector Sarah Pengelly of
Cheshire Constabularys' Crime Operations Unit said "These men were
attracted by the perceived wealth of dealing in illegal drugs -
when now the reality and the consequence of their actions is in
fact a prison sentence. Throughout the course of this investigation
we have worked closely with the neighbourhood policing team of
Ellesmere Port in gathering vital pieces of community intelligence
in relation to the movements and activities of these individuals.
This information, utilised with other policing techniques and
support from specialist units, have helped bring to justice and
remove from our streets a gang of men who are collectively
responsible for bringing misery upon whole communities affected by
their illegal drug dealing."
The gang, led by brothers Shaun and Anthony Gregerson,
previously of Rossmore Road, Ellesmere Port, operated across
Cheshire focusing upon Ellesmere Port, Crewe and North Wales. The
men heavily involved in the distribution and movement of over three
and a half kilos of Class A drugs, particularly cocaine. Over
£24,000 cash was seized during the operation led by Cheshire
Police's Crime Operations Unit and supported by Ellesmere Port Neighbourhood Policing Team.
A variety of policing techniques and resources were used in
bringing the men to justice, from Air Support to covert policing
techniques and specialist evidence and intelligence gathering.
