Drug dealer caught after police pulled over BMW in Oldham and made big discovery
Matthew Harrison, 52, was jailed for 12 years after police pulled over his black BMW on Middleton Road, Oldham, on September 18 last year. Officers found 6kg of cannabis, 1,000 MDMA tablets, and 55g of cocaine in the car. A search of his home uncovered £156,000 in cash hidden under bedside drawers, a Rolex-branded watch, paintings, and two cash counting machines. Harrison pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply class A and B drugs and money laundering at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court on February 26. Detective Constable Andy Pearson said the sentence reflects the seriousness of drug supply and the harm it causes communities.
