Cannabis dealer dubbed 'the best stockist in area' ends up in court

JUDGE SAID 26-YEAR-OLD'S HIGH APPROVAL RATINGS WERE PRESUMABLY 'NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED ON TRUSTPILOT'

- By MARK NAYLOR

AN enthusiastic young cannabis dealer earned himself rave reviews from fans as “the best stockist in the area” - and his highly delighted customers gave him glowing ratings for the drugs supply service that he provided.

Jordan Steen ran a “small cottage industry” for about three years and he had “quite a decent reputation” as a cannabis supplier.

He was “quite good at it” - but his high approval ratings were “not independently verified on Trustpilot”.

His customers were particularly impressed that he had access to “different branded strains of cannabis” and he would even provide a personal delivery service for them in his own car, Hull Crown Court heard.

Steen, 26, of Denaby Court, off Holderness Road, east Hull, admitted being concerned in supplying cannabis between January 6, 2019 and June 14, 2021.

He also admitted being concerned in supplying diazepam on January 25, 2020.

Samantha Laws, prosecuting, said that the offences were discovered after Steen was arrested on an unrelated, more serious matter.

He was not charged in relation to that. His two phones were seized and examined.
