Jail for trio who flooded Burnley and Brierfield with heroin

Sabar Hussain, Stacey Jo Shackley and Neil Fraser
THREE drug dealers who supplied ‘significant amounts’ of heroin on the streets of Burnley and Brierfield have been jailed for a total of nine years five months.
Sabar Hussain, 32, from Chapel Street, Nelson, Neil Fraser, 30, from Padiham Road, Burnley and Stacey Jo Shackley, 22, from Grange Street, Burnley, pleaded guilty at Burnley Crown Court on Tuesday.
The trio were arrested on May 10 on Chapel Street, Brierfield, after they were seen acting suspiciously by officers from Pennine Divisions Targeted Crime Team (TCT).
They were interviewed and charged the following day.
Hussain was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of Class A drug heroin and money laundering.
Fraser was given one year and eight months after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin and possession of an offensive weapon and Shackley was jailed for three years nine months after pleading guilty to being concerned in the supply of heroin.
Sgt Martin Storey, from the TCT, said: “It was clear following the arrests that all three of the defendants played an important role in the distribution of significant amounts of heroin across the streets of East Lancashire and that they had been operating together for some time.”
In addition to the sentences handed out, officers from Burnley’s neighbourhood policing team obtained a Closure Order at a house on Grange Street, where some of the heroin had been distributed from.
The Order, which was granted by Burnley Magistrates means that the house will be closed for three months, during which time it will be an offence to remain in or enter the address.
Community Beat Manager PC Michelle Horne welcomed the closure order. She added: “The prison sentences, along with the closure order at the address will have a positive impact on the local residents. I encourage anyone with concerns about drug dealing in the area to contact us.”

If they really do want to stop hard drugs such as heroin then they have to give even the lower level dealers such as these probably are, proper sentences as a deterrent to others, and to hopefully stop them re-offending when they come out after serving only half of the ridiculously short sentences that they got.

In both articles the dealers are named & photographs shown.
I'm beginning to think the LET's drawing articles out of a hat to decide which can be commented on & which can't at the moment.

Lets be honest here ,we all know that these 3 scumbags are the tip of the iceberg and the sentences are way way to leniant, but the truth is its the asain/pakistani drug dealers that are the REAL problem but the police,mp's,communit

Why don't you smarten up and learn the difference between 'there', their' and 'they're'? Do you think placing the apostrophe appropriately is like getting the 'x' in the right place in a 'spot the ball' competition? And what, exactly, is an 'Asain'?
The truth is that illiterate nonsense like yours makes uncomfortable reading in this country, knowing this is what it's come to!

At the end of the day the police have limited resources so I say well done for each drug dealer they send to prison knowing that there are still more out there. Until the courts hand out proper sentences to deter people the cops work will never be done. Imagine how many dealers there would be if the penalty was life in prison or a death sentence!

Your description of the progression up the drug dealing career path might be an accurate reflection of how that it works in Juarez (Mexico), Medellin (Columbia) or Soweto (South Africa) but quite frankly it's laughable to suggest that in Burnley and Brierfield this sort of structure exists. I would like to know on what basis you refer to your assertions as being factual, please provide your evidence supporting this claim. I do not dispute that there may have been occasions when children falling into the age-groups you mention have been found carrying out the activities you refer to but to suggest it's any more than extremely isolated is scare-mongering. Children from 10 to 13 are in school Monday to Friday and any drug dealer worth their salt would actively avoid roping in any-one who might draw attention to themselves, i.e. kids out of school when they should be at school. I do agree that there are undoubtedly hundreds of people waiting to take the place of these scum but they are the low-life, intellectually challenged, drug saturated retards who believe it's easier to deal at this level than shoplifting three bird roasts and gammon joints from Farmfoods. Contrary to you, I think the police are doing a pretty good job in identifying and bringing this dog sh1te to justice, the problem is that the sentencing authorities let us all down by dishing out pathetic, non-deterrent sentences to this scum who kill our children.
Tip of the iceberg?? You don't really know the half of it. You're way out of your depth here pal, sat in your suburban front room talking like you know what's up. Well let me tell you what's up there's a 100 more "scum bags" taking advantage of the gap in the market as we speak. It's a big money bussiness in which children as young as 10 start their career as lookouts and move on to street level selling by 12-13 this is a fact. And the police think they're doing a good job, well give yourselves a pat on the back, for being ignorant to the facts infront of you on the streets. Sh*t anyone with 2 eyes can see out in the open on the streets. Why don't you think on that for a moment sober you up some.

I think you will find that 'There's spell-checkers' should have read 'There are spell-checkers'. The punctuation you used is short for 'There is spell-checkers' which is grammatically incorrect, the 'i' of 'is' being replaced by an apostrophe. In the english language there is no shortening of the words 'There are' by use of on apostrophe.
Don't make excuses for functional illiteracy. There's spell-checkers for the idle so anyone who can't be bothered to apply one is even MORE idle! It's no wonder unemployment is so high. Who'd take on someone who can't communicate properly? I don't.
P.S. I wouldn't take you on.

You remeber the above story police did a good job sending down a mentally challenged wanabe gangster for longer then the other 2. If the police investigated properly they would have known that Adnan was and is nothing out of his depth. Shafqat on the other hand was running this partiular operation which he is still doing from another location which i will not mention. So you tell me if the police did a good job because their evidence is weak no wonder the ring leader gets away with 28 days and is back selling again. While the mentally challenged one got a heavier sentence.
