A drug dealer from Bolton must repay £10,000 from his exploits – even though he made over £400,000.

The home of Lewis Ottley on Ashton Street, Little Lever, was found to have cocaine, £12,000 in cash, designer clothing, watches and a debtors' list when police visited.

The total value of the drugs was over £78,000.

A short time after the raid Ottley handed himself in to the police.

He was sentenced after he admitted possession of cocaine with intent to supply it in January this year.

The court heard he was the father to a three-year-old son.

The 34-year-old was given a sentence of four years on that occasion.

The sentencing judge said it was sad that he had placed himself in the position of being a drug dealer as his young son needed a role model and he had references which said that he was an exceptional plasterer.

But he said that devastating crimes were committed by people under the influence of cocaine, which is why Ottley had to receive a significant prison sentence.

Ottley returned to court this week for a Proceeds of Crimes Act, which allows a court to determine how much must be repaid from criminal activity.

The court determines what the amount a criminal benefited from their activities, and how much of this can be seized back.

Prosecutor Aubrey Samsung said: “The benefit figure is £440,383.73.

“The realisable amount of assets of £10,435.”

He also said there was an application for forfeiture and destruction of drugs paraphernalia as well as a £500 gift card, which was not granted.

Bob Sastry, representing Ottley, agreed with the figures.

Judge Martin Walsh ordered him to repay the £10,435 and said there would be six extra months in prison if he failed to pay it.

Ottley thanked the judge as he left the court.
