Drug gang had luxury cars with the slogan 'crime pays' on number plates

A drugs gang with luxury cars boasting the slogan 'crime pays' on their vehicle number plates have been jailed. The group amassed £6 million in assets including sports cars and top-end caravans from pushing cocaine, reports Essex Live.

Swansea Crown Court heard the Essex gang had netted £6,018,395.85 in proceeds from their criminal activities. The Proceeds of Crime Act hearing went ahead recently after the three men involved in the illegal enterprise were jailed last year.

The trio were part of a criminal gang which trafficked approximately 50kg of coke from London and Essex to Wales. For their crimes, Leon Ley, 34, was sentenced to 11 years and three months and Dale Martin, 28, was sentenced to 12 years.
