An alleged County Lines drug ring peddling heroin and cocaine across the country was busted by police.

Thirteen people, including three men and two women from Liverpool, were arrested after police raided homes across the North West, South East and South West of England. The raids came as part of an ongoing investigation into large scale County Lines drugs supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

The operation was led by the Serious and Organised Crime Branch at Devon & Cornwall Police with the help of other police forces. Those arrested include suspects from Liverpool, London, Blackburn and Prescot and all remain in custody today where they will be questioned by detectives.
