Albanian gangsters have been running the cocaine market in most parts of the UK for the past two decades, but have reportedly been warned to stay away from Liverpool.
Violent gangs from the Balkan nation have taken over the drug trade in Britain since they began moving into the country after the fall of communism in Albania in 1990.
Among them are the Hellbanianz, an infamous street gang based in the Gascoigne Estate in Barking, East London.
