Merseyside man jailed for dealing cocaine and heroin in Widnes

Jamie Porter from Minto Close in Liverpool appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on 6 August to be sentenced after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin and cocaine.

The 47-year-old was jailed for five years and six months.

Officers from Halton Proactive CID launched an investigation into the County Line known as ‘Bigzy’ which was selling cocaine and heroin in the town.

Porter was identified as the controller of a County Line and a warrant warrant was executed at his home address on Minto Close on 1 July 2026.

Porter was arrested and mobile phones seized along with over £600 in cash. He was arrested and later charged with being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine and heroin and remanded into custody.

PC Nicholls said:

“We welcome the sentence handed to Porter and hope this reiterates the message to others who look to supply drugs in Widnes, that we will identify you and send you to prison.

“Officers at Widnes are committed to the fight against drugs and work 24/7 to ensure that individuals looking to engage in such criminality are swiftly brought to justice.”
