A county lines drug gang who flooded Scotland with heroin and crack cocaine were caught after a six-month police investigation.
Five people were charged after the drug smuggling operation was uncovered by officers from North East Division's Organised Crime Unit in 2020. Detectives pieced together evidence of the illegal supply from London to properties in Aberdeen city centre and Rosemount.
The investigation dubbed Operation Dismantle led to the conviction of ring-leader Donovan Gilbert Smith from an address in Hornchurch, London, on July 7, 2020.
