A drug dealer who played a ‘significant role’ in the supply of cocaine on the streets of Huddersfield has been jailed.
Specialist Kirklees detectives welcomed the sentencing of Marshall Edwards-Pascal who was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court last week to six years and six months in prison.
The 29-year-old, of Wakefield Road, had admitted possession with intent to supply class A drugs and possession of criminal property at a previous hearing.
Edwards-Pascal was initially arrested on August 8 2025 following a police search of an apartment in Waterloo. Officers recovered large amounts of cash from the flat during the search.
Officers from the Kirklees Precision Team launched a significant investigation into his suspected criminal activity following the seizure in order to build a fuller picture of his role in drugs supply.
He was then arrested again on April 17 this year after police proactively stopped a car he was travelling in. Quantities of drugs were recovered by officers.
Following the second arrest, Edwards-Pascal was then charged with possession of criminal property, related to the 2025 cash seizure, and possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
Det Insp James Bellhouse, of Kirklees Police, said: “Our investigation found that Edwards-Pascal held a significant role in the supply of drugs in the Kirklees area and that he was actively seeking to use youths from the area to supply on his behalf.
“He was caught following a detailed investigation by specialist detectives and his conviction and sentencing has undoubtedly removed a malignant influence from our communities.
“The Programme Precision teams were formed specifically to target drug dealing and other organised crime in West Yorkshire and we are continuing to progress a number of active investigations in Kirklees.
“Drug dealing is as absolute scourge on communities and a direct cause of violent crime and county lines offending.
“We urge anyone who has information about drugs crime to contact the independent Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.”
