Both males were arrested and later charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

Speaking after their convictions, PC Chris Dawkins, from the Stockton Neighbourhood Team, said: “We are happy with the sentences given by the court today and hope this provides a clear message to anyone choosing to engage in drugs activity that it will not be tolerated and you will be pursued, caught and put before the courts to be brought to justice”.
