A Trafford man who was found serving coke instead of pizza after officers discovered over £250,000 worth of drugs and cutting agent in pizza boxes in Tameside has been jailed for over eight years.
Two days before Christmas last year (23 December 2020), officers carried out warrants at addresses on Market Street, Hollingworth, and seized a substantial amount of cocaine, ketamine and cash.

Simon Tennant, (23/03/1981), of Market Street, Hollingworth, was jailed for eight and a half years on Friday 2nd July 2021 at Minshull Street Crown Court for possession with intent to supply cocaine, possession with intent to supply ketamine and possession of criminal property.
Detective Constable Jake Orr, of GMP's Tameside Challenger Team, added: "This is all part of our on-going commitment to tackling drugs and the distribution of them across Greater Manchester and clearly this find was a substantial one.
"Tennant was clearly making a profit from the desperation of those who become reliant on class A drugs and we will continue to do all we can to remove offenders such as Tennant from our towns and cities."
