Jail for drugs offences North Anston man

A MAN has been caged for seven-and-a-half years for drugs offences.

Shane McKay (34) of Woodland Drive, North Anston, was sent down at Sheffield Crown Court on Monday (15 June) after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to possession of class A drugs with intent to supply and possession of class B drugs.

Four kilos of cocaine and one kilo of heroin, with a street value of around £400,000, were seized by police after two search warrants were executed in Woodland Drive, North Anston, in February.

Sergeant Denis Plaistow said: “We are pleased with the sentence handed to McKay, ensuring he remains off the streets of Rotherham for a considerable period of time.

“We are carrying out extensive work across the borough to tackle those who choose to deal drugs and bring them to justice.”

He added: “Drugs destroy communities and the associated criminality is a blight on our town and the lives of our residents.

“Our work will continue to get those dealing drugs put behind bars to make our town safer.”
