A Barrow man has been jailed for over five years for drug supply offences.
Liam Johnston, 23 of Broadway, was sentenced on Monday for offences including being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
The offences relate to an incident in Barrow in November 2025 and offences committed between August 2024 and May 2025.
In May 2025 Johnston was found to be in possession of cocaine and a dealer line.
The offences relate to Operation Nighthawk, for which another other man was jailed for in December.
On November 29 officers raided Johnston’s address and sized a quantity of cocaine and cannabis as well as a mobile phone which evidenced his role in supplying cocaine and cannabis.
He was jailed for five years and four months.
A spokesman from Westmorland and Furness’ Community and Serious Organised Crime (CSOC) team said: “This sentence reflects how seriously both the police, and the criminal justice system take offences of this nature.
“We will continue to target any people or groups found to be involved in drug supply and place them in front of the courts.
“We will use all powers available to us to stop anybody involved in drug supply in the town.
“Drugs have a detrimental effect on the whole community, and we urge anybody who has information regarding this issue to contact the police.”
