Harrogate Drug Dealer Scott Bradley Locked Up for Over 3 Years
Scott Bradley, 36, a notorious Harrogate drug dealer with no fixed address, has been slammed with a hefty jail term of three years and six months.
Guilty of Supplying Class A Drugs and More
Bradley admitted to multiple charges: two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs (cocaine and heroin), one count of possessing cannabis with intent to supply, one count of possessing criminal cash, plus two counts of possessing class A substances.
His sentencing took place on 20 December 2023 at York Crown Court.
Police Caught Bradley Red-Handed in Harrogate
On 2 January 2022, North 1 Police’s Operation Expedite team spotted Bradley surrounded by a group on Bower Street, Harrogate. Sensing trouble, officers approached—and Bradley tried to stash the drugs in nearby bushes.
But the police swooped and uncovered a bag filled with wraps of cocaine and heroin, confirmed by forensic tests. They also found £180 in cash and a set of scales. Bradley was promptly arrested.
Further Raids and Evidence Seal the Case
In October 2023, police raided a property connected to Bradley in Harrogate. They found more cocaine, heroin, and cannabis. He was arrested once again and remanded in custody.
Mobile phone analysis revealed Bradley’s deep involvement in drug trafficking over a long period, serving a wide customer base.
“Bradley is a prolific drug dealer with the sole objective of selling drugs and causing misery on the streets of Harrogate, purely for his personal gain,” said PC Ellie Cooke of Operation Expedite.
“I am pleased to see him sentenced and hope it sends a clear message that drugs will not be tolerated on our streets.”
