Police search for convicted drug dealer

A convicted drug dealer is wanted by West Yorkshire Police after he failed to turn up to his sentencing.

Aman Patanker, formerly of Captain Street in Bradford, was convicted alongside six others for his involvement in a plot to supply almost £1m in drugs.

He admitted conspiracy to supply Class A drugs (MDMA) and possession of criminal property relating to an offence which took place on 17 April 2024.

Patanker, 24, failed to attend his sentencing last month at Leeds Crown Court, where he was sentenced to six years and nine months in his absence. A warrant for his arrest has been issued by the court.
