He was given credit for his early guilty plea and sentenced to five years and eight months to run concurrently for four counts of being concerned in the supply of heroin, being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine, possession with intent to supply heroin and possession and possession with intent to supply crack cocaine.

He was further sentenced to six months to run concurrently for possession of criminal property and ordered to forfeit the sum of £1653.81 and possession of cannabis for which there was no separate penalty.

All of Moore’s drugs, drugs paraphernalia and phones linked to his offending were ordered to be seized and destroyed.

Detective Constable Emily Holder of Hereford CID said: “We welcome this sentence as a reflection of the severity of Moore’s offending.

“He managed a drug supply line trafficking class A drugs into the local community of Ross-on-Wye.

“The misery of drug supply is well known - it motivates offending and destroys lives.

“Moore showed no concern for the impact of his offending and benefited from the financial gain of his criminality.

“I hope that this sentence stands as a deterrent to those who are involved in drug supply.

“Officers from Hereford CID will not tolerate this type of offending and will work with our partner agencies to bring these offenders to justice.”
