Harratt sold two wraps of heroin to test purchase officer known as Shelly for £30 on December 22.

Prosecutor, Carmel Pearson said Shelly had called the 'Taz' dealer line number obtained by police and was told to go to an area near playing fields in Leeds.

Harratt met the officer, who took covert photographs of him as she bought the heroin.

Seven days later undercover officer Shelly again called the dealer line and was told to go to Blackman Lane in Woodhouse.

The court heard Harratt told the officer to line up with other users waiting to buy drugs before selling her two wraps of cocaine for £30.

Long-term drug addict Harratt has 26 previous convictions for 48 offences.

In 2001 he was jailed for two years for supplying heroin to undercover police and in 2004 he was handed a three year prison sentence for supplying heroin to drug users on three occasions in Morley town centre.

Tony Kelbrick, for Harratt said: "Inevitably, someone in the grip of addiction is going to be prey to pressure to commit these sort of offences until he can do something about the addiction itself."
Harratt admitted two charges of supplying Class A drugs.

Jailing Harratt for 2,045 days, Judge Cristopher Batty told him: "You were supplying drugs to test purchase officers in a very straightforward, candid way on the streets of Leeds. Parliament has decided that people who repeatedly peddle class A drugs will go to prison for a long time."
