A 36-year-old Bradford man will be sentenced later this month after pleading guilty today to 13 charges of supplying class A drugs.

Paulo Gallone, of Whiteways, Bolton, Bradford, admitted supplying heroin and crack cocaine in January and February this year.

His case was adjourned at Bradford Crown Court to clarify whether two previous drugs convictions meant he should receive a minimum sentence as a ‘three strikes’ dealer.

Recorder of Bradford, Judge Roger Thomas QC, granted Gallone bail on condition he complied with a Drugs Intervention Programme, but told him: “These offences look as though they have taken you into prison, and for a good spell.”
