John Burrill, Bingley.
THE police in Keighley are to be congratulated on obtaining convictions
on 20 drug dealers recently with total sentences of 70 years. But, how
frustrated they must feel to know that they will have to arrest them all over
again in 18 months when, on average, they will be released.
It is deplorable that some of those convicted, for the second and third
times, only received sentences of three years.
These people need to know that drug dealing is abhorrent and does not
pay, sadly these sentences do not illustrate that. Let’s hope for longer next
time. Yorks Post.
