A MAN involved in a £250,000 drug-supply gang has been ordered to forfeit the money he made from the crime.
A confiscation order of £2,737 was yesterday made against Allan Blakemore after prosecutors accepted that was all he made from the conspiracy.
Blakemore, 44, of Heather Close, Stockton, was jailed for two years in October after he admitted three charges of possessing ecstasy, cocaine and amphetamines with intent to supply.
Jonathon Moorby, 34, was jailed for seven years after a judge heard his role was greater.
Detectives saw Moorby exchange packages with two men in Darlington in October last year, and after tracking him to his home in Pembroke Drive, Ingleby Barwick, Teesside, the trail led to Blakemore. A holdall containing 16,000 ecstasy tablets, 447g of cocaine and amphetamines was found at Blakemore's home.
Blakemore accepted £40 a week to keep the holdall for Moorby, which he thought contained only cannabis.
