Neighbours on a street where a flat was used in an international cocaine ring have spoken of their "life in fear". Some said they do not leave the house without a panic alarm, while others are fearful for their children and families.
It comes after two Nottingham men who posed as key workers transported and sold millions of pounds worth of cocaine during lockdown. Stephen Lees and Matthew Whorlow, who have been jailed, collected drugs coming from Europe and distributed them around the UK in 2020
They ran the operation from a small flat in Springhead Court, Bulwell. And, between March and June 2020, regional detectives established that the pair had supplied cocaine with a street value of more than £4.5million to organised criminal gangs in Nottinghamshire, Greater Manchester and the West Midlands.
