A crack cocaine and heroin dealer managed to recruit 10 people, including his girlfriend, into his county lines gang named as the 'Tom' team.
Christopher Martin recruited ten people, one of which was his girlfriend Sophie Fletcher, to supply Chester with crack cocaine and heroin from Merseyside. Martin travelled from his home in Merseyside to Chester where he would stay in hotels while carrying out criminal activity.
While he stayed in Chester, Fletcher and John Turner would transport drugs from Merseyside to Chester on his behalf, with them either travelling with Martin in his Range Rover or by taxi. Fletcher also took up the responsibility of packaging the drugs into smaller quantities ready to sell.
