Yesterday (December 19), Ali was jailed for 25 months for possession of heroin and crack with intent to supply and possession of cannabis. He pleaded guilty at a previous hearing.
DC Adam Gosling of Greater Manchester Police's Bury district said: "I am very pleased with today’s result, as we have successfully got a drug dealer off the street. Ali chose to deal drugs in Bury and the good people of Bury did not stand for this.
"I have a simple message – if you deal drugs then we will find you, arrest you and ensure you are put before a court."
