Harrison Wood was ordered to pay more than £36,000 for drug offenses

Last year Harrison Wood, 35, of Steeton, Bradford, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and cannabis, selling cocaine and possession of MDMA. He received a two-year prison sentence, including 18 months probation.

Following an investigation by North Yorkshire Police financial investigators, a confiscation order has now been made against him to repay the benefits of his criminal behavior.

At a hearing at Bradford Crown Court today (September 14), Wood was ordered to pay a total of £36,121.78 within three months or face a nine-month prison sentence.

DI Janine Mitchell, head of economic crime at North Yorkshire Police, said: “This case shows that crime simply doesn’t pay. Anyone attempting to profit from the supply of illegal drugs – or other criminal activity – in our area should not only face a conviction but also a confiscation order.”
