A man who turned his home into a safe house for a drug dealer has been jailed for 18 months.

Wayne Dunwell, 28, bagged up heroin at the address in Everest Avenue, Shipley, Bradford Crown Court heard today.

He had pleaded guilty at Bingley Magistrates’ Court to an offence of being concerned in the supply of heroin on November 8 and was sent to the crown court for sentence.

The court heard he ran up a debt with his dealer and allowed his home to be used for weighing and bagging heroin.

In return, he was given two bags of the drug and £20 was knocked off the debt.

Dunwell’s barrister, Nick Askins, said his client worked for a fencing firm in Bradford. He was on the Drug Intervention Project and had been largely drug-free for a month.

But Judge Jonathan Rose told Dunwell: “You were part and parcel of the drug problem that is rife in this city.”
