A drug dealer who filmed himself pretending to work at a takeaway while preparing packages of crack cocaine and heroin has been jailed for four years and nine months.
Dawid Bialek, 30, was recorded asking customers for their order numbers as he supplied Class A drugs through a window in broad daylight.
In the footage, obtained by Greater Manchester Police, Bialek can be heard asking a man standing outside: “What would you like?”
The customer responds with the number “801”, prompting Bialek to begin preparing the order.
He pours what appears to be cocaine and heroin from a Kinder Egg container before telling the customer: “Your order’s on its way, sir.”
As he places the white sachets back inside the plastic container, Bialek jokes: “That’s our little McDonald’s game. That’s what we are playing.”
Police Discover Drugs During Towpath Patrol
Bialek’s criminal activities came to police attention on May 11, 2026, when officers patrolling a towpath near Quayside in Leigh spotted him attempting to throw a suspicious package into the water.
Officers recovered the package and discovered several wraps containing suspected Class A drugs.
Further investigations led police to an address in Leigh, where they found additional suspected drugs, weighing scales, empty packaging and mobile phones.
Bialek was initially released on bail while detectives continued investigating the suspected drug supply operation.
Plain-Clothes Officers Catch Dealer With More Drugs
Just over a month later, Bialek was caught distributing wraps of heroin and crack cocaine by plain-clothes police officers.
He was stopped and searched in an alleyway near the canal towpath in Leigh town centre, where officers discovered more drugs and cash in his possession.
He was subsequently charged with four counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, relating to heroin and crack cocaine, alongside an offence of handling stolen goods.
Mobile Phone Evidence Exposes Drug-Dealing Operation
Bialek initially denied the charges when he appeared in court during the summer.
However, investigators examining his confiscated mobile phones uncovered messages, videos and written notes connected to his drug-dealing activities.
Among the material recovered was the recording showing him carrying out the fake takeaway routine while preparing packages of Class A drugs.
The footage provided evidence of how he presented his drug transactions as fast-food orders, asking customers for numbers before handing over the packages.
Bialek, who has no fixed address, subsequently changed his plea and admitted the offences.
Bialek Sentenced to Four Years and Nine Months
The 30-year-old was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison at Liverpool Crown Court on October 30, 2026.
Greater Manchester Police said the investigation formed part of its efforts to tackle the supply of Class A drugs in Leigh.
A force spokesperson said: “The supply of Class A drugs causes significant harm within our communities and often exploits vulnerable people who are struggling with addiction.
“This result demonstrates our commitment to targeting those responsible for bringing drugs into Leigh and disrupting the criminality associated with them.
“We will continue to use intelligence, proactive patrols and targeted operations to identify offenders, gather evidence and bring those involved in drug supply before the courts.”
