Gareth Morley admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply

Gareth Morley, 27, turned would-be small- time commercial dealer because he wanted to make cash for Christmas. But he was caught after police raided his home and discovered 28grammes of the drug, with a purity of 15per cent. Some of the cocaine was for his own use but at least 20 bags, possibly more, were to be sold to raise profit, Burnley Crown Court heard. Morley, of Hillside Road, admitted possessing cocaine with intent to supply. An allegation of supplying cocaine was left to lie on the file. His barrister had urged the court to pass a suspended sentence, but a judge said that would have been “unduly lenient” for such a serious offence.
