Widnes man jailed for selling class A drugs in the town

A 29-year-old man from Widnes has been jailed after admitting being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

Jamie Makovecz from Levens Way, Widnes appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on 19 June to be sentenced after pleading guilty to two counts of  being concerned in the supply of class A drugs at an earlier hearing.

He was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Makovecz had been dealing drugs in Widnes between 4 January and 23 April this year. His illegal activity came to an end once police identified a mobile phone which was involved in county lines activity in the Widnes area. This was then linked to Makowecz.

Officers executed a warrant at his address in Levens Way on 23 April and recovered a mobile under a kickboard in the kitchen which was eventually linked to the dealing of drugs through county lines. The battery and sim card weren’t in it but a further search found the battery. Police also recovered and second phone, digital scales and another mobile phone. Makovecz was subsequently arrested on suspicion of dealing drugs.

White residue on the digital scales were forensically examined and confirmed as the class A drug cocaine and heroin.

DC Luke Burns said:

“We are continuing to disrupt the supply of illegal drugs into Widnes and make life difficult for those who are selling heroin and crack cocaine within our communities.

“We will not stop and are determined to continue in finding those responsible for destroying the lives of those addicted to drugs and the wider community who are impacted so negatively by those who are hooked on these drugs.”
