Lee James Locked Up for Peddling Cocaine and Cannabis
Lee James, 39, from Shavington, has been slammed with a seven-year prison sentence for dealing Class A and B drugs in Crewe. The drug dealer made a fortune exceeding half a million pounds before cops put a stop to his operation.
Police Stop BMW; Cash and Phones Expose Dealer
On 1 July 2024, officers stopped James in his flashy blue BMW M5 on Bradfield Road. They found over £1,000 in cash and two mobile phones—an instant red flag. A failed drugs test led to his arrest.
Searching his home uncovered cannabis vape pens, a £15,800 gold Rolex, and an £8,300 gold-plated chain. Despite these findings, James was initially released on bail while investigations ramped up.
Luxury Life Unravels Under Police Raid
In a follow-up search on 11 December 2024, police seized more evidence of James’s extravagant lifestyle: £2,455 cash, a £4,000 e-bike, cannabis vapes and gummies, and designer clothes, shoes, handbags, and perfumes worth over £38,000.
“Those luxury goods were seized, and he’s now behind bars, forced to consider whether it was worth it.”
