Jordan Winstanley, a 30-year-old drug dealer from Bury, was sentenced to eight years in prison after boasting he’d never be caught by police. He faced four counts of conspiracy to supply cocaine and cannabis. Alongside him, 47-year-old Carl Allan received two years and three months for one count of conspiracy. The pair were sentenced at Manchester Crown Square Court on September 23. Their operation involved using street couriers to distribute drugs in Bury. The investigation began in August 2022, with mobile phone data linking Winstanley to a drugs line.
