Two men have been sentenced for their involvement in the supply of class A drugs in Northwich.

Kane Farghaly and Paul Slicher were both sentenced at Chester Crown Court on Friday 7 February after they admitted various drugs offences.

Farghaly, of Pulford Close, Northwich, was sentenced to 50 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs (heroin and cocaine).

The 25-year-old also admitted possession of class B drugs (cannabis).

Slicher, aged 37, of Chester Way, Northwich, was sentenced to 24-months in prison, suspended for 18 months after he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of class A drugs (Heroin).

The court heard how in October 2024 police uncovered evidence suggesting that Farghaly and Slitcher, were linked to two mobile phones which had been used for the sale of class A in the Northwich area.

Arrests attempts for Farghaly were undertaken on Friday 25 October, and upon entering his address he was witnessed throwing a mobile phone out of a first-floor window.

The phone was quickly recovered and during analysis officers recovered numerous messages from people asking to purchase class A drugs.

Farghaly was arrested on suspicion drugs offences and during a search of his address officers recovered a small quantity of cannabis and a knuckleduster.

Slicher was arrested later the same day after he presented himself to officers at Northwich police station.

During questioning both men denied their involvement in the supply of illegal drugs, however upon appearing in court they pleaded guilty to all of the charges.

Following the sentencing Police Constable Dean Butterworth, of Northwich Proactive CID, said:
