A drug dealer who stashed ammunition and drugs at his mum’s house has been jailed. Jake Burns, 21, was sentenced to two years and four months imprisonment at Manchester Crown Court this afternoon after pleading guilty to supplying class A drugs, and possession of ammunition.
The court heard how he began dealing drugs including heroin and crack cocaine to pay off debts from his own drug use. He was initially arrested in March 2022, and released on bail.

When caught, police found several bags of white powder on him, as well as £34 in cash. Prosecuting, Ms Kate Gaskell told the court that upon search of his house, where he lives with his mum, 11 bullets were also found alongside crack cocaine, and bulking agents.
Defending, Mr Tom McKail said Burns was holding the ammunition for others, and that there was “no evidence of it being used”. “This is a young man who is ashamed of the way he behaved and he is beginning to make steps to recovery,” he said.
