Overview
- Beck, who appeared at Teesside Crown Court on Tuesday, received a 45‑month sentence after admitting intent to supply heroin and crack cocaine and simple cannabis possession.
- In June 2021, police checked a BMW in Stanhope Gardens, Middlesbrough, and a recovered phone linked to messages about dealing that named “Mac” and “Macaully.”
- Officers then searched Beck and found 15 packages hidden between his buttocks that contained heroin and crack cocaine, with a small amount of cannabis also seized.
- About two months later, he was arrested again after a moped pursuit supported by a helicopter, during which he threw away a package later found to contain wraps of heroin.
- Recorder Mark Giuliani called the offending street‑level dealing for gain, noted it was Beck’s first dealing conviction and his remorse, and reduced the sentence in light of his letter, with his address listed as HMP Durham.
