A Ellesmere Port man has been slammed with a hefty jail sentence for running a crack cocaine racket across the town.
Mason Mallon Caught Red-Handed
Mason Mallon, 23, of Wellington Close, Ellesmere Port, was sentenced at Chester Crown Court on 5 January. He received five years and seven months behind bars after pleading guilty to supplying crack cocaine and possessing cannabis.
Police Crack Down on Drug Supply
In late 2025, local cops tracked a phone number bombarding the town with flare messages offering class A drugs from multiple locations. A raid at Mallon’s home on 4 December uncovered two mobile phones—one linked to the messages—cash, crack cocaine, and cannabis.
Mallon kept silent during interviews but admitted to cannabis possession. He was arrested and charged promptly.
Police Praise Community Help
PC Adam Critchley, Ellesmere Port CID, said: “Mallon had no choice but to plead guilty given the mountain of evidence against him. This conviction removes a major player from our streets.”
“We’re committed to taking down dealers like Mallon, but we need local residents to come forward. If you see drug dealing in your area, contact us and we’ll handle it.”
Thanks to brave policing and community tips, Ellesmere Port just got a little safer.
