Episode Details

Eight members of a major cocaine network in Leicestershire and the West Midlands were sentenced to a combined 47 years in prison. The group conspired to supply class A drugs, with some handling wholesale quantities and others dealing on the streets. Leicestershire Police gathered evidence from 223 sources and split the operation into two crews, one based in Coventry and the other in Barwell and Hinckley. The operation resulted in the recovery of over £12,000 in cash, drug stashes, dealer lists, and pictures of bulk drugs on phones. The investigation lasted from May 2023 to April 2024, leading to charges and sentencing at Leicester Crown Court. Police are still seeking more information and remind the public to report drug tips via their website or by dialing 101.
