A chemical company director from Merseyside has been jailed after a rural drug lab was busted 100 miles away.
Stephen Singleton, who was director of a St Helens-based chemical company, used EncroChat to help lead a drug operation that produced amphetamine in a shed in rural Yorkshire. North Yorkshire Police responded to concerns about suspicious activity at a house near Thirsk when they found two men in the middle of making amphetamine oil.
Officers also found noxious vapours coming from the address, laboratory equipment and £20,000 in cash.
