52 drug dealers jailed in Greater Manchester in 2023

Scores of people have been jailed for drugs offences in Greater Manchester in 2023. Some were part of small operations. Others were cogs in are sophisticated empires with dozens of footsoldiers - or leading from the very top.

More EncroChat dealers, busted by cops following the hack of the infamous criminal network across Europe, have faced justice in our region in the past 12 months. Family-run operations have been shut down. And dealers with international links are facing 2024 behind bars.

As the year draws to a close, the Manchester Evening News [1] looks back at drugs cases across the region - and the people paying the price.

Crime lord 'Vlad the Impaler'

A Salford crime lord directed underworld hits from hundreds of miles away in the Netherlands. A shooting and a raid on a family home were carried out on the orders of Nathan Vanden, who had fled from his native Greater Manchester after arousing the suspicion of the authorities.

Using the aliases 'Machiavelli' and 'Vlad the Impaler', he plotted a shooting at a house in Whitefield [4], Bury [5], and a proposed attack at the home in Salford. Prosecutors said that Vanden, 33, originally from Leigh, paid criminal associates to 'carry out attacks upon targets of his choosing', using the EncroChat network as a cloak of anonymity. But messages he sent on the encrypted communications network came back to haunt him after it was cracked by European law enforcement in 2020.

"The prosecution would say that by this time, he was the head of a crime group operating in Salford, and had a number of trusted lieutenants under him," prosecutor Andrew Ford KC said. "He had money available, he would barter online for criminal jobs to be done, for people to be attacked and his co-accused would be paid." As he was jailed for more than two decades, a judge labelled Vanden a 'professional gangster' and gave him an extended prison sentence for public protection.

Three men, including a father and son, were jailed over a plot to supply cocaine and cannabis worth GBP4m. Ricky Lee, 31, Christopher Gresty, 56, and his son Louis Gresty, 25, from Salford [7], continued dealing drugs in Manchester, Liverpool and Coventry during the first coronavirus [8] lockdown. Now they have been jailed thanks to evidence obtained from their EncroChat phones.

Lee used his ill-gotten gains to pay for IVF treatment, holding a 'gender reveal' party during lockdown. In a video seized by police, Lee is even captured counting a pile of cash and saying: "What d'you reckon that is? Half a day's work!?"

Their operation was smashed by Greater Manchester Police [9] as part of Operation Venetic, the force's initiative to mine incriminating data hacked by law enforcement from EncroChat's servers in northern France in April 2020. The encrypted devices were exclusively used by criminal according to police.

Lee's 'trusted associate' Christopher Gresty kept drugs, debt lists, scales, and bags at his flat in Eccles [10], the hub of the drug dealing operation. Gresty's son, Louis, dealt cocaine and cannabis at street level while the younger man's account took payments for drugs by bank transfer.

Police executed search warrants at their home addresses in May 2021 and again in January 2022 and found evidence of a 'highly lucrative drug sales network', according to police. Despite police intervention, the brazen trio continued to supply 'a large customer base' in Salford and Tyldesley until they were finally arrested and remanded into custody in September 2022. When officers raided Lee's address on Eccles Road in Swinton [11], bundles of cash totalling GBP25,000 were found lying around the house: under a TV cabinet, in a child's cot and in bedroom drawers.

Lee, of Eccles Road in Swinton, was jailed for 14 years after he admitted conspiracy to supply cocaine, conspiracy to supply cannabis and conspiracy to launder money at Manchester Crown Court [12].

Christopher Gresty, of Vicars Street in Eccles, was sentenced to eleven years in prison. He admitted the same offences. Louis Gresty, of Liverpool Street in Salford, was jailed for three years after he admitted two counts of possession with intent to supply cocaine, money laundering, and possession with intent to supply cannabis.

The words of a cocaine dealer came back to haunt him

Kurt Jervis (Image: GMP)

A dad embroiled himself in 'very large scale' cocaine dealing after being seduced by the prospect of 'easy money'. Kurt Jervis described the murky world he descended into as 'proper serious and organised crime'. He worked as a courier for Stockport [14] based drugs boss Aaron Wright, who was at 'the top of the tree' of the crime gang.

Wright, 37, was said to be involved with at least 60 kilos of cocaine, while Jervis was linked to 39 kilos of the class A drug. The huge scale of their involvement in the criminal underworld was exposed when law enforcement gained access to the EncroChat network, the encrypted phone system previously thought to be impenetrable. In one message to Wright, using his EncroChat username 'One Sicario', Jervis, 37, who has a teenage son, said: "Proper serious and organised crime this bro.

Kilos drops before 11am and 1000s passed before 1pm, no f****** about. All while ur sat scratching ur a**. Police estimate that if the messages were correct, the pair could have made a profit of about GBP84,000 over a six week period.

Wright was sentenced to 13-and-a-half years in prison, while Jervis received nine years and four months. Read the full story here.[15]

(Image: NCA)

A high-level drug dealer police said to have had links to an Albanian crime gang has been jailed over a plot to smuggle 139 kilos of cocaine worth GBP11m into the UK - hidden in a consignment of bananas.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) said Robert Ball, from Trafford [19], 'oversaw the nuts and bolts' of the conspiracy on the ground together with an accomplice, Mirgent Shahu. Four members of the organised crime group, including Ball, were jailed this year. All four were captured on covert surveillance as gang members ripped open the roof of a shipping container they thought the smuggled drugs were inside, but it was empty and police pounced.

The NCA said its investigators had previously removed the drugs then tracked the container straight to the gang to make the arrests in April, 2022. The container had arrived from Ecuador and was searched at London Gateway port. Ball, 59, from Hasty Lane in Altrincham [20], has been jailed for 18 years.

A gang dubbed the 'most organised outfit around' have been locked up after peddling GBP7 million worth of cocaine through a church 'drug factory'. The eight strong outfit bought and sold huge amounts of cocaine and flooded streets across the country with the class A drug.

The dealers used a former Methodist church as part of the staggering operation. The building, in Bamfurlong, Wigan [22], was most recently the base of the Kenny family's business antiques shop, J.W. Antiques, Manchester Crown Court heard.

But it was transformed into a drugs warehouse where cocaine was packaged to be dealt to addicts on the streets. Two Kenny brothers, Jamie and Leon, were among the members of the gang locked up for combined sentences of more than 60 years. Jamie Kenny, 33, taught other dealers how to break blocks of cocaine in order to 'maximise profits', while others were employed in the antiques shop to package up the drug for street selling.

Their drugs operation was brought down following the law enforcement hack of the EncroChat network in June 2020, which led to each of the eight gang members being arrested and their houses searched. Officers found designer clothing, expensive watches and numerous phones. They also found criminal cash, crypto currency wallets, hydraulic presses, a machete, a radio frequency detector, trackers and a spy camera.

Dean Smallwood, 43, of Landgate Lane, Wigan, was sentenced to 12 years and eight months in prison.
Jamie Kenny, 33, of Ashwood Avenue, Abram, was sentenced to 11 years and two months.
Leon Kenny, 31, of Warrington Road, Abram, was sentenced to eight years.
Sam Causer, 33, of Egerton Street, Abram, was sentenced to six years and four months.
Daryl Golding, 38, of Brookland Avenue, Hindley, was sentenced to five years and six months.
Ian Ormshaw, 44, of Mesnes Avenue, Wigan, was sentenced to five years and seven months.
Nathan Cooke, 32, of Eskdale Road, Hindley, was sentenced to six years and four months.
Nathan Hart, 33, of Warrington Road, Abram, was sentenced to six years and six months.
Lee Standen, 42, of Liverpool Road, Hindley, was jailed for 19 years.

Eleven people have been jailed after a 'crime family' which pushed millions of pounds worth of drugs onto the streets was dismantled. Thirteen people were convicted from the major organised crime [24] group, including a 72-year-old woman nicknamed 'grandma', who told police 'cross my heart and hope to die' as she denied her involvement.

Officers began an investigation into the operations of James Mulligan two years ago. At the time, he was the head of an organised crime group suspected to be supplying drugs across the North West and North Wales. Greater Manchester Police [25] says that beneath him were a 'string of associates who each had their own role to play', but over time they became 'too comfortable with their patterns and routines'.

It led to police landing at their front doors.

David Keenan and Damian Batty were second in command in the operation. They would transport and collect the drugs, before supplying them to Sibu Ngema, Richard Braisdell and Michael Woodhouse, who would sell them to customers. Sheila Mason, who James Mulligan called 'grandma', was in control of the stash house in Droylsden [26].

As the investigation continued, police uncovered more individuals linked to the gang. James Mulligan's brother, Brian Mulligan Junior, and their father, Brian Mulligan Senior, were responsible for supplying heroin running a 'meth lab'. Lower down the chain, Tony McGoff, Gary Holtham and Lee Hamlet-Corley would sell the drugs to customers.

Between April and October 2021, police in Manchester, Merseyside and West Yorkshire made a number of arrests as the gang were caught carrying drugs and firearms across the country. They also discovered a flat being used to produce drugs on an 'industrial scale'. In total, the group have been jailed for 70 years.

Gary Fenton (Image: GMP)

A drugs boss was brought down after cops uncovered a picture of a terrifying machine gun on his kitchen worktop. Dad-of-two Gary Fenton took the image of a Skorpion machine gun after buying it for GBP10,000, and sent it on to a pal. The 'professional' drug dealer purchased the deadly weapon from fellow criminal Jamaine Salmon.

Detectives discovered the image following the law enforcement hack of the highly encrypted EncroChat network, and were able to match it to the fixtures and fittings within Fenton's home. He and Salmon have been handed lengthy jail sentences. Salmon, 32, was locked up for 22 years; and Fenton, 45, for 17 years.

According to the National Crime Agency (NCA), Salmon 'broke down and cried' when faced with the evidence against him. Before being sent down, the pair were inspired by 'greed and selfishness', and had prioritised their own 'enrichment'. Manchester Crown Court heard that the pair were 'senior figures' in the 'commercial trafficking' of class A drugs, sourcing and brokering multi-kilo deals.

A third man, 45-year-old Karl Francomb, who was jailed for eight years, couriered drugs and cash on their behalf, and was paid a wage rather than receiving a cut of the profits. The hacking of the EncroChat network revealed 'significant criminality' and exposed Salmon as operating under the username 'Maserati.Rick', and Fenton as 'Rarepalm'. Read the full story here.[35]
