A Macclesfield man has been jailed after admitting dealing class A drugs.
Paul Gostelow from Duke Street, Macclesfield appeared at Chester Crown Court on Thursday 5 March to be sentenced after admitting to possession with intent to supply cocaine at an earlier hearing.
The 58-year-old was sentenced to five years, seven months and two weeks in prison.

On Monday 19 January 2026 PCs Nathan Manley and Izzy Morrell were on patrol when they stopped a silver Tiguan on Macclesfield Road, Prestbury.
They signalled for the car stop and when it did, the front seat passenger, Gostelow, fled from the vehicle and ran through a car park.
The driver, a woman, remained in her seat.
One of the officers chased after Gostelow as he ran across the bowling green and detained him.
Gostelow had been seen dropping something as he fled and a search was made by the other officer resulting in blocks of white powder being recovered from the scene. Gostelow was also searched and found to be in possession of white powder.
He was subsequently arrested and the car was searched. A phone was seized, and following this, a search of his address recovered drugs, phones and other items.
PC Orry Barnard said:
“This is another brilliant example of our officers out on patrol proactively stopping and searching those suspected of criminality.
“We are out there 24/7 acting on information and would urge anyone with information on drug dealing in your community to contact us on 101 or via website so that we can continue to put people like Gostelow behind bars and disrupt illegal drug activity.”
