Sheffield Drug Gang Nabbed ‘Cooking’ Crack Cocaine in Shocking Raid
Three men were caught red-handed producing a major batch of crack cocaine in Sheffield. Worral Yee, 68, Junior Neita, 36, and Jerone Blake, 31, were caught in the act at Yee’s home on Margate Drive on March 16, 2020.
Police Storm House, Find £1000 of Crack Cocaine in Sink
PC Gareth Webb, leading the takedown, said officers from Sheffield’s Fortify Team and TSG acted on intelligence linking Yee to laundering cocaine for organised crime groups across the city.
“On entering the property, we found the trio actively producing a significant amount of crack on the cooker. As officers detained them, one of two jars of crack was thrown straight into the sink,” PC Webb revealed.
Officers removed the entire sink and u-bend for forensic analysis, uncovering over £1,000 worth of cocaine residue. The drugs haul didn’t stop there.

Hefty Sentences Handed Down in Sheffield Crown Court
All three men were arrested and charged with possession with intent to supply and involvement in crack cocaine production.
Faced with a mountain of evidence, Yee, Neita, and Blake all pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing.
Today (8 December), the court handed down tough sentences:
- Jerone Blake – seven years in prison
- Worral Yee – five years behind bars
- Junior Neita – 44 months imprisonment
“There is absolutely no doubt these men were behind a serious Class A drugs operation flooding Sheffield’s streets,” said PC Webb.
“Catching them ‘cooking up’ was a major win for the team. We are committed to eradicating drug crime across the city.”
“If you have info about drug dealing, please speak up. It may help trigger big enforcement action like this.”
