A huge drug dealing operation was rumbled after a secret tiny phone was recovered from the leader’s prison cell. Ashley Blackett, 35, was serving time in custody when prison officers raided his cell and found bags of heroin along with the small Zanco phone.
Homes of others involved, including Blackett’s then girlfriend, Jamey-Leigh Brook-Parkinson, were searched prior to the raid on his cell, during which phones, drugs and cash were found.
Analysis of her phone showed that she was in constant contact with Blackett whilst he was in prison. He instructed her on how to run the business whilst he was inside, advised what drug equipment to get and informed her how much cash to pay into his bank account.
