A motorbike-riding drug runner was twice caught by police with thousands of pounds worth of heroin and crack cocaine.
Christopher Richold was jailed this week after admitting four counts of dealing in Class A drugs. Leeds Crown Court heard that he had been addicted to the drugs himself and got into debt, so was forced to become a dealer. Prosecutor Sam Roxborough said officers first became suspicious while patrolling in Kirkstall on November 25, 2021 and spotted a black Honda bike. Checks revealed the registration showed it to be a white bike, so suspecting it was on false plates, pulled it over.
When officers approached, Richold tried to run and throw a bag away. He was arrested and the bag retrieved. It contained more than 150 wraps of crack and heroin worth £1,410. Richold, of Abbeydale Vale, Hawksworth, gave a no-comment interview at the police station and was later remanded into custody. Appearing in court via video link from HMP Doncaster, his barrister Kara Frith said in mitigation: “He is under no illusions this will result in a significant prison sentence.
