Dealer used drug money to fund hair transplant and new teeth

The ringleader of a drugs gang sourced cocaine and cannabis in Liverpool which was then distributed in the south of England.

Jack Richardson was one of a gang of six men arrested over large-scale cocaine and cannabis drug dealing, and was the last to be sentenced for his role in the criminal enterprise. Police first got intelligence back in November 2019 that Richardson, from Epsom, was orchestrating a drug supply network. He sourced the drugs in Liverpool and then circulated them in his home base of Surrey and beyond.

But the 32-year-old did not appear to do the work for himself, instead relying on an organised network of dealers and runners. Surrey Police said he then "spent the spoils of his illegal operation on a lavish lifestyle" including renovations to his high-end home, a collection of cars and a trip to Turkey where he purchased a new hairline and extensive dental work, reports Surrey Live.
