Two men from Merseyside travelled 270 miles south in a county lines operation that saw them cuckooing two drug addicts and using their flat to distribute class A drugs.
A lockdown police raid at a flat in Torquay uncovered a county lines drug operation involving two Merseyside men Harry Beardsmore and Brandon Murray who were using a flat as a base where they could package and sell heroin and cocaine. The legal tenants of the flat were drug addicts who lived in the bedroom while the two men slept in the living room with more than 20g of cocaine and heroin as well as £1,500 in cash being recovered.
Beardsmore, 21, has been jailed for four and a half years at Exeter Crown Court after he was convicted of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and possession of criminal property. Murray is to be sentenced at a later date, Devon Live reports.
