A 49-year-old Cumbrian man has been jailed for almost four years after he admitted drugs offences.
James Humber, 49, of Cross Lane, Kendal, was sentenced to three years and nine months when he appeared at Carlisle Crown Court.
Humber was caught after investigations into drugs led to his arrest on February 1.
A search was carried out and heroin, cash, weighing scales and phones were seized from Humber’s bedroom. The heroin had a potential value of £4,400.
Humber admitted possessing heroin with intent to supply and acquiring, using or possessing criminal property.
The investigation formed part of Operation Alliance – Cumbria police’s ongoing response to protect the county against serious and organised crime.
After the sentencing, Detective Constable Olivia Draycott said: “Disrupting community drug supply is among our policing priorities in Cumbria.
“Drugs criminals should know that we will target them robustly and aim to bring them before a court.
“We have a strong track record of this in Cumbria and will continue our efforts to tackle the crime surrounding high-harm drugs such as heroin.”
