A teenage drug dealer who is believed to have supplied ecstasy at Leeds Festival to a 17-year-old school friend who later died has had cash seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act

Luke Jones, 19, was one of three men who were sent to custody at Leeds Crown Court in April this year after admitting conspiracy to supply ecstasy at Leeds Festival in August 2019.

The court heard 17-year-old Anya Buckley, who had gone to the festival with a group of friends, collapsed after taking drugs including ecstasy at the Bramham Park festival site.

Medical staff tried to revive Anya, but she was declared dead just after 3.30am on August 24, 2019.

Anya Buckley, 17, who had gone to the festival with a group of friends, died after taking drugs including ecstasy at the Bramham Park festival site.

Toxicology results showed Anya had a combination of ecstasy, ketamine and cocaine in her system.

A pathologist concluded Anya died from mixed drug toxicity and said ecstasy toxicity is likely to have been the central factor in her death.

Jones was returned to the court today for a confiscation hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA)

The court heard he had benefited to the sum of £1,377 as a result of his offending. He was ordered to pay the amount within 40 days.
