'Brazen' dealer rented Airbnb to store cocaine worth £84,000

A TEESSIDE drug dealer who rented an Airbnb to supply class A drugs has been jailed for almost 13 years.

Jack Ford made the Airbnb booking himself and provided his own personal details knowing that he would be using the property to store, package, and weigh three different types of drugs ready for onward supply.

The 32-year-old was detained by police inside a property on Grassington Road in Grove Hill, Middlesbrough. A search of the house led to 842g of cocaine, with a street value of approximately £84,000 and a wholesale value of between £38,000 to £42,000, being found inside cupboards in the kitchen.
