A man who was found with class A drugs at his address has been jailed.

Sheldon Holland was sentenced to 45 months at Chester Crown Court on Monday 30 June.

The 61-year-old, of Myrica Grove, Chester, had previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine.

On 30 May 2025, a warrant was carried out at an address in Heathcote Place, Chester, which was Holland's address at the time.

Numerous wraps of brown and white powder were located at the address, along with a large quantity of cash, a burner 'graft' phone and drug paraphernalia.

Holland was subsequently arrested. He later admitted and confirmed that the powders, heroin and crack cocaine, were his, as well as the cash.

Following further investigation, he was charged with drugs offences.

Police Constable William Morgan-Griffiths said: "I welcome the sentence handed to Holland who was left with no choice but to plead guilty to the offences.

"I hope this sends a stark warning that we will continue to crack down on this behaviour and protect the communities we serve from illegal drugs.

"We would urge anyone who has any information about drug-related activity to contact us and we will do the rest."
