A teenager who ran the Preston 'dealership' of a County Lines drugs gang from Liverpool has been jailed by a judge at the city's Crown Court.
Joel Bowden, who was said to have played a significant role in the organisation, ordered consignments of heroin and crack cocaine from Merseyside bosses and sold them from his flat in Fylde Road. The court was told the 18-year-old had set up a base for the business in a house of multiple occupation, not far from the University Quarter of the city. But it was his fellow residents who blew the whistle on him when they saw what he was up to.
' Zareen Alam-Cheetham, representing Bowden, said the teenager, who admitted two charges of possession with intent to supply, had been addicted to cannabis and ran up a debt of around £2,000. She added that as a result he 'felt compelled to take part in the offending.' 'He fully accepts his offending,' she said. She described his record as an 'appalling' history of crime for someone of his age. 'He knows this and he is not proud of it.
